Agape Community Kitchen
Youth-led mission of The Presbyterian Church in Westfield
What is Agape?
Agape is a Greek word that means love, but not just any love – God’s love. Agape is God’s unconditional love for the world. We express that every week when we open the doors of First Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth and welcome people into a space where they can enjoy a hearty meal in a loving environment.
Since 2000, Agape – as we call it – has been a youth-led mission of our church. We believe it is important to give young people meaningful ways to be in leadership roles through our church. With the support of a team of awesome adults, it is the students who lead the meal service. We value young people and know God does too. You don’t have to be Presbyterian to serve with us, you don’t even have to be Christian, you just have to be willing to show up and show your respect to the community to be a part of Agape.
When & Where
We meet every Wednesday @ 3:15PM in the church parking lot. Transportation is provided to and from Elizabeth. We usually return around 7:30PM.
Adult Opportunities
We are always looking for adult volunteers – from our congregation, other churches or groups - to assist on site and behind the scenes in a variety of ways.
