AGAPé IRELAND
Inspiring people to discover Jesus.
Agapé is a movement committed to introducing people to Jesus and training Christians to have a public faith. We want to build effective teams and, developing solid resources, take the initiative to deliver the life changing invitation to know God.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Encouraging questions, respecting each other & creating craic:
Curiosity welcomed
There has been a lot of misinformation about the who, what, why of Jesus. Everyone has questions. Agapé supports the right of Irish people to explore the Gospel of Jesus for themselves.
Your thoughts matter
Regardless of your background or how qualified you feel to jump into faith conversations, we believe that every person should be treated with respect and dignity. We care about listening, not just talking.
Fun is essential
Faith feels deep and heavy sometimes, and we think fun matters too! Our community is built on a motivation for laughter, discussion, and good times.
AGAPé STUDENTS
Students
Agapé offers support to students and helps them navigate the complexities of student life. Together we help students from all backgrounds to discover and explore faith in Jesus.
AGAPé EVENTS
Events
Weekly events are asking big questions and making connections that form community. Retreats are about getting away from it all to clear the head and warm the heart. And summer calls for travel and new experiences as we journey together.

“The Camino was amazing. Life-long friendships made. A great place to question faith without judgement”

“The Agapé weekly events have been unreal. I find the talk/discussion format really helpful, not only to learn more about what I believe, but other’s beliefs too.”
