A Gateway to Advocacy Perseverance, and Education

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 actively enlist individuals to participate in the legislation of health, education, and earning opportunities for the blind and visually impaired.

The Annual Gospel Fest will be hosted on Sunday, October 27, 2024, by 3:30 pm at Third Baptist Church, located at 620 Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63103. 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.

Won’t you please come and be a part of our event and rejoice in song and fellowship with us?
