Who We Are

AGAPE Children & Family Wellness Center was established in April 2023 with a vision to create a welcoming, purposeful environment dedicated to strengthening children and families.

Rooted in love and guided by a commitment to family and community well-being, AGAPE recognizes that children thrive when the people and systems surrounding them are equipped to provide meaningful support.

We believe families possess strengths, experiences, wisdom, and potential that deserve to be recognized and cultivated.

Our role is to help create the conditions where those strengths can flourish.

Why AGAPE Exists

Families navigate increasingly complex challenges involving education, relationships, child development, emotional wellness, access to resources, and community belonging.

Many parents and caregivers are expected to navigate these systems without sufficient information, support, or meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions.

AGAPE exists to help bridge those gaps.

We bring together family engagement, wellness, education, advocacy, and community connection in a setting that recognizes the dignity and value of every individual.

Our Philosophy

We believe that:

Every child deserves to be affirmed.

Every parent deserves to be heard.

Every family deserves to be supported.

Every caregiver deserves encouragement.

Every community benefits when families are strengthened.

A Whole-Family Approach

Our work recognizes that the well-being of children is deeply connected to the well-being of their parents, caregivers, schools, and communities.

We therefore approach family wellness through multiple areas of support, including education, advocacy, relationships, emotional well-being, early learning, and community engagement.

Our Commitment to Cultural Responsiveness

AGAPE recognizes the importance of cultural identity, family experiences, lived expertise, and equitable access to opportunities.

We are especially committed to creating meaningful opportunities for Black children and families and others whose voices and experiences have historically been overlooked.

Our programs seek to honor identity, strengthen belonging, and support families in navigating institutions and systems.

Our Community

AGAPE is based in Federal Way, Washington, and seeks to serve families and build partnerships throughout South King County, Pierce County, and surrounding communities.
