Agape College's mission statement

An institution of higher education to train and equip godly men and women with the knowledge, skills and attitudes for leadership. A Christ-centered, biblically oriented curriculum that recognizes the Bible as the infallible authority in all manner of faith and conduct. A program designed to enrich all students’ knowledge and understanding of sound biblical doctrine. A curriculum and atmosphere that promotes spiritual, personal, and professional growth and provides a foundation for life-long change and enrichment. An environment that challenges students to think proactively and form a generational, Christian worldview.

Academic Programs

"Agape College offers programs of study on three distinct levels:"

The College Preparatory Courses are designed to enable a student to fulfill college entrance requirements both at Agape College and at other institutions. Students are prepared to achieve an acceptable score on the SAT and ACT college entrance exams or the COMPASS placement examination administered at Agape College. These courses are designed for both Agape College applicants and the general student population preparing for ACT and SAT testing.

The Diploma Study Program is designed for students who are interested in detailed Scriptural studies in a less rigorous setting than college level courses. This ministerial studies program is a two-year regimen. Selected courses in this program may be able to be combined into two three-hour college courses for those who wish to transfer those hours into the Agape College degree program.

The College Degree Program offers an Associate of Strategic Leadership degree. The two-year, 61 credit hour program involves classes that meet Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings each week of the semester. For student convenience, each class offering is taught on a single evening in a three-hour setting.

Happy Caldwell

In 1979 Happy Caldwell said God told him to build a spiritual production center in Little Rock, in order to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the city, state, nation and world. Happy and his wife Jeanne founded Agape Church, a strong spirit-filled body of believers. Through his deep sensitivity to the Spirit of God, and his anointed teaching - the lost are being saved, the sick healed, and thousands are being blessed.

In 1988 Happy and Jeanne answered what they felt to be a direct call from the Lord to take His message beyond Central Arkansas. They founded VTN - the Victory Television Network. This network of 3 full power TV stations is carried on over 200 cable systems and is bringing the Gospel into more than 1.2 million households. Through his own daily program, Arkansas Alive, Happy presents the Word in profound simplicity, making the character of God a revelation to those who hear.

Also desiring to see spiritual excellence in education, the ministry of Agape Church has grown to include an elementary academy, a school of world evangelism, and Agape College which offers both diploma and degree programs.

Happy's ministry is known for instilling Christian principles in strategic leadership. He was honored for this in 2005 with an invitation to participate in the U.S. Army War College Strategic Leader Staff Ride. In addition to his own ministry responsibilities, he serves on the Board of Directors for the International Charismatic Bible Ministries, and Faith Christian Fellowship in Tulsa.

He is a recipient of the Peter J. Daniels Caleb Encourager Award, which has been bestowed upon such notable names as Norman Vincent Peale, Nelson Mandela and Dr. Oral Roberts. He has also been recognized by the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission with The Salute to Greatness Community Service Award.

Happy Caldwell continues to travel worldwide delivering the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. He has recorded several albums with his wife Jeanne and has written several books including "Saving Our Cities" and "No More Limits".
