“Our goal at Agape House is to help teens find the love they are desperately searching for and discover an unwavering belief that they are valuable, accepted, and wanted. Establishing a firm foundation is crucial to the success of turning their lives around. It becomes a well that is drawn upon again and again during a challenging transition period. Our ministry transforms broken, empty teens, burdened by painful pasts and defeating beliefs, into confident young men and women who value themselves and take pride in their achievements.” – Pam Patterson, CEO & Founder
