The Nepali Agape Church occupies the building built in 1915 for the Advent Covenant Church. The Nepali Agape Church is a non-denominational Christian church that according to the Agape Community's mission statement:

"At Agape we seek to create and to preserve a morally coherent life in fidelity to our faith and to the calling of people of all faiths. While grounded in the practice of our Catholic Christianity, we experience an affinity and connectedness with sisters and brothers from other faith traditions, and those who follow no particular faith tradition, learning from them and seeking to live in harmony with them."
