AGAPE Council of the Blind, an affiliate of the Missouri Council of the Blind (MCB), is a 501(c)3 organization. We are here to promote the overall well-being of all legally blind individuals and positively influence the entire community.

We would love to have you join us in an afternoon of inspiration, praise, and worship. 


Our featured choir will be The St. Louis Gospel Choraleers. Our Awardee for our Dr. Bessie Reece Excellence will be Bishop Wilfert Lee of Tabernacle of Life Church. In excitement, we announce that Elder Michael Hayes of Zion Baptist Church will be our Master of Ceremony.


Please bring your family members, neighbors, and those who are visually impaired with you to learn about the many resources in our community.
