Our history
Since 1995, a small group of believers has been formed in Kavadarci through the testimony of Todor Georgiev. In 1999, when official services began in Negotino, the believers from Kavadarci decided to attend them. In the meantime, the number of believers from Kavadarci and the need for spiritual work in the city were growing, so the option of renting a room for services was increasingly being considered. Finally, this idea was realized in 2020 and the believers from Kavadarci began their own services, in a small rented room. Pastor Goran Iliev from Negotino remains the person responsible for this group and for the services in the Agape Church. In parallel with this group, a group of believers of Roma nationality who live in Kavadarci joined the Evangelical Church. Due to the different language and culture, it was decided that they would have a separate room, where they could worship God in their own language and cultivate their own culture. Occasionally, joint worship services and similar activities such as teen meetings, women's groups, and the like are held.
