GET TO KNOW OUR HISTORY
While faithfully serving his home church and Superintendent Stenneth Powell, Pastor
Bowser was commissioned by the Holy Spirit to start a ministry in Knightdale NC. Not really
knowing where to begin, Pastor Bowser sought direction from the Lord and counsel from his
leader. After fervent prayer and lucid instructions from God, on the 1st Wednesday in December
2004 Pastor Bowser started a Bible study in the waiting room of a local barbershop. With only 5
participants Pastor Bowser taught Gods Word with clarity and excitement. The Bible study class
grew so quickly that the students often had to sit in the barber chairs due to the lack of space.
Pastor Bowser remained faithful and had planned to officially start the church in 2006, however
while in bed one night, the Holy Spirit woke him up at 4:00 am and commissioned him to
establish the Agape Christian Center Church on Easter Sunday 2005. Under the leadership of
Pastor Bowser Agape has grown in number and in Spirit. God has blessed Agape richly and we
expect greater things as we continue to do the will of the Lord. When asked what he felt to be
his purpose in Knightdale, Pastor Bowser responded by saying:
"I believe that God has called me, for such a time as this, to win the lost, assist the people of God in realizing and fulfilling their purpose, build His Kingdom, and to nullify the plans and strategies of the enemy. It has become my passion to see God's people healed in every facet of their lives."
