<p>After 134 percent growth in 2008, <a class="story_clink" href="http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/gen/Agape_Child_&amp;_Family_Services_F0CD96F2D053464DBB64B6F6C6BBD871.html"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Agape Child &amp; Family Services</span></strong></a> is looking for even more growth in 2009.</p>
<p>Agape, which provides foster care, adoption, maternity services and family counseling, received its national accreditation from the New York-based Council On Accreditation, which will allow it to expand the services it can offer.</p>
<p>David Jordan, executive director of Agape, says the accreditation isn’t a requirement for Agape, but the organization moved forward with the process to show its level of service.</p>
<p>“We began looking into national certification because we wanted to be premiere,” Jordan said in a statement. “It&#8217;s about showing what we do and seeing if it meets top quality.”</p>
<p>Agape, through its multiple community service and adoption programs, served 26,320 people in 2008 compared to 11,238 in 2007.</p>
<p>Jordan said Agape is also looking to focus on specific communities and apartments in need of aid, and expanding an on-site ministry that provides tutoring and mentoring to children at Bent Tree Apartments in Whitehaven.</p>
<p>“We want to have churches re-engaged or increase their work in the community,” Jordan said. “Agape&#8217;s primary role will be to provide leadership for this to happen in these communities and to provide child and family services.”</p>
<p>With offices in Memphis and Jackson, Tenn., Agape will serve at least 30,000 children, adults and families this year through its services.</p></div>
