Agape CoC (Portland)
Agape Church of Christ is a church in Portland, Oregon. It is supported by Park Plaza through a partnership with Kairos Church Planting Support.
The west side of Portland has grown by seventy thousand people in eight years. Few churches in that area are growing enough to keep up with the population explosion.
Portland people want to see the real Jesus living in the lives of His church. However, the real joy is a unity among members and the focus on the mission of God at the church plants.
Ron and Lori Clark are the ministers at Agape Church of Christ in Portland, Oregon. Agape first began meeting on Easter Sunday 2007 and meets at Lincoln High School in downtown Portland. Ron is an author of several books and he and Lori are active in community organizations for prevention of violence, sexual assault, and homelessness.
