Agape Church

Meet Pastor John & Belinda

Pastor John has been faithfully serving as the Senior Pastor of Agape Church since 2011. He and his wife, Belinda, have been married for over 37 years, and together, they pour their hearts into serving the congregation and the community.

Before entering full-time ministry, Pastor John had a successful career in law enforcement, where he served for many years. His experiences in this field helped shape his character and gave him a unique perspective on leadership, compassion, and serving others. After retiring from law enforcement, he felt a calling to transition into ministry, dedicating his life to preaching the gospel and shepherding God’s people.

Pastor John’s journey of faith began at the age of 18 when he made a personal commitment to Christ after being raised in the Catholic Church. Since then, he has developed a deep passion for evangelism, sharing the gospel, and preaching directly from the Word of God. His mission is to reach the local community with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

Belinda stands by his side as a supportive partner in ministry, using her gifts to serve in various ways, and together, they strive to create an atmosphere of love, growth, and service at Agape. Their dedication to God's work is evident in everything they do, and they continue to lead the church with humility, vision, and a heart for the lost.

Meet Pastor walter “Hutch” & Chris

Hutch, a retired engineer, now serves alongside Pastor John as Assistant Pastor, offering his time, skills, and heart to the ministry in nearly every capacity.

Before joining Agape, Hutch began a street ministry in Beacon, NY, where he evangelized and helped provide food and clothing for the homeless. His heart for reaching the lost and meeting practical needs continues to drive his ministry today. Hutch and Chris share a deep love for God’s people, one that can be felt from the very first encounter.

Together, they embody the spirit of servant leadership, always eager to support and encourage the church family in any way they can.
