Agape Christian Fellowship (ACF) is an evangelical Christian campus ministry that was established in 1995 serving the University of Rochester, Eastman School of Music and Rochester Institute of Technology.

We are a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural student group devoted to learning, understanding, and applying Biblical truths into our lives. The primary focus of this fellowship is to minister to students through teaching, training, and guiding them in the ways of the Lord, during their years of undergraduate and graduate studies. We are here to provide the student body with an environment where students can develop and build upon their spiritual foundations and meet other students who share that same desire.

We seek to foster a community of believers throughout the Rochester area who will support each other in living the Christian life and to disciple students through small groups, Bible studies, large group meetings, accountability, serving the community, good Scriptural teachings, and fellowship. It also provides different outreach and serving opportunities as a part of the discipleship process for students.
