Pastors James & Nece Hill are the senior pastors of Agape Church in San Luis Obispo, CA. Pastor James served as an Associate Pastor of Agape SLO for 13 years. Together with a team of 12 people, Agape SLO and the Association of Related Churches (ARC), they founded Agape Church in Laurel, MS in 2010. Pastor James holds a Doctor of Ministry degree program with Andersonville Theological Seminary. Nece holds a degree in Early Childhood Education and is passionate about reaching children with the Gospel of Jesus. Pastors James & Nece have been in ministry together for over 24 years and have a passion to build a life-giving local church that influences individuals and the world. They have four children - Samuel, Micah, Ezekiel and Gabriel.  

Andy and Dawnna Pfarr have been married for nearly 22 years and are proud to call the Central Coast their lifelong home. Their story together began 27 years ago when they were first introduced by their youth pastor—Pastor James—which makes it all the more special that they now serve as Student Ministry Directors at Agape Church.
With a shared passion for reaching the next generation, Andy and Dawnna are committed to building up and pouring into students during one of the most important seasons of life. They believe this generation needs truth, love, and real connection more than ever, and they are honored to help create a safe, fun, and faith-filled environment where students can grow in their identity and relationship with Jesus.
Whether they’re leading a Bible study, playing games, or simply hanging out and having real conversations, Andy and Dawnna love every moment with their students. Outside of ministry, they enjoy time with their three amazing children, exploring the outdoors, and hosting game nights with friends and family.
