How it started

Inspired by the Holy Spirit to bring the love of Jesus Christ to all nations, Pastor Shaji K Daniel along with his wife, Shiney Cherian Daniel, founded Agape Full Gospel Ministries* in September 1996. Pastor Shaji K Daniel and his wife believed that God would use this ministry to touch the lives of people around the world and began building a leadership team to help them accomplish this task.
​*Agape Church and Agape Full Gospel Ministries operate independently, but work together as network partners.

An Open Door of Oportunity

In 2012, after 15 years of ministry, God opened the door to a piece of property located at 2635 North Belt Line Road Sunnyvale, TX that contained at large church building, a child care facility, offices for staff members, and a community friendly prayer chapel. The property also had space to add new buildings.

Agape Bible Study

Pastor Shaji K Daniel began Agape Bible Study with 8 other people in attendance in the prayer chapel on April 3, 2012 as a local outreach in the Dallas area. Those attending the first Agape Bible Study meeting were Pastor Shaji K Daniel, his four quadruplet daughters, Sarah Michelle Daniel, Ruthann Jessica Daniel, Marybeth Victoria Daniel, Priscilla Lynn Daniel, and his son, Paul Spencer Daniel, as well as Pastor Koshy Cherian, Pastor Nate Cress, and Jennie Cress.

Agape Bible Study grew to over 30 people in weekly attendance after just a few months. After much praying and fasting, the Lord confirmed by His Spirit that it was time to plant a local church. Agape Bible Study would become that church.

Agape Church

Agape Church in Sunnyvale, TX was founded in May 2013 and held their first service on September 8, 2013. Agape Church continued growing in number and now has three weekend worship services with over 100 people in attendance.
