Mike Kimmel

Executive Director

Mike Kimmel, Executive Director, began serving Agape House in October 2020. After 37 years of managing computer engineering teams for large corporations, and more than 25 years as board chair of the Long Beach Rescue Mission in California, Mike brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role. He believes that providing housing alone is not the answer, but that healing, growing, and training in Christ will end the cycle of homelessness. Mike lives here in paradise with his wife of 37 years. He spends spare time hiking the trails of the area, cooking, and working their property.
