Where you always have a seat.

Exactly as you are.

The Agape Table exists to curate sacred spaces of healing for queer people and their friends in South Carolina. We accomplish our mission and vision through the Agape Cohort, media partnerships, and dinner dialogues.

Our Vision

The Agape Table envisions a world in which equity and inclusion are the centerpiece of community here in South Carolina and beyond. We believe that our LGBTQ+ family is worthy of love and deserving of human dignity no matter the setting, circumstance, or interaction. We will work until every queer individual in South Carolina is welcome to the table of grace and promised that they will always have a seat, exactly as they are.

Agape Cohort

The Agape Cohort gives you the opportunity to learn queer history, confront the queer experience, and reflect through facilitated dialogue. Cohorts consist of no more than 12 individuals who are dedicated to intensive education and intentional vulnerability.

Media Partnerships

The Agape Table views media as another impactful avenue of storytelling that leads to heart change and then societal change. A film screening may persuade someone to be more compassionate towards the queer community, as it humanizes the stories of those who are mistreated and misrepresented.

Dinner Dialogues

It is difficult living authentically in a society where you are not welcome. Only two things change that - education and proximity. One can no longer be a moral degradation, a political talking point, or a theological topic when they are sitting across the table from you. If you are honoring their seat at the table, then their humanity matters. Their existence matters. Their story matters.

The Centerpiece

The centerpiece of our table is rooted in grace and love. Because of that, we choose to acknowledge the following:

  • Your seat at the table is just as valuable as mine. I choose to honor your presence and respect your voice being heard.
  • Your humanism is worth more than my desire to be right. I am not required to agree, but I am required to listen, learn, and love.
  • Our stories can create change. I will make a conscious effort to be vulnerable and to thoughtfully recognize your vulnerability.
