Friends of Agape

Your generosity enables the mission of The Agape Ringers. Our funding depends on concert fees, recordings, grants, and the direct support of friends. Without you, we could not continue to Tour, Teach, and Perform!

Why give?

  • The Agape Ringers posing outdoors near a canal with blue railings, some are sitting and some are standing, with a large green and black boat behind them and buildings in the background.

    TOUR

    A rotating schedule of national and international tours widens our audience, promotes the art of handbell ringing, provides time for fun and friendship, and allows us to share our entertainment, education, and excellence around the world.

  • An instructor demonstrating an instrument to a group of children in a classroom with music stands and sheet music.

    TEACH

    We share our passion and enthusiasm with directors and ringers throughout the year by teaching at workshops, supporting local music programs, and serving in leadership roles at the local, regional, and national levels.

  • The Agape Ringers wearing matching black and gold patterned jackets, holding handbells at their performance.

    PERFORM

    Concerts and recording sessions allow us to constantly refine and expand our skills as we share our music with audiences of all ages. Performing for our peers at regional and national events also plays an important role in our mission to inspire handbell excellence nationwide.
