Agape Christian Fellowship (ACF) is a non-profit organization, an evangelical Christian campus ministry that was established in 1995 by Pastors and brothers Thomas Muratore (PT) and Charles Muratore (PC), serving the campuses of University of Rochester, Eastman School of Music, and Rochester Institute of Technology.
ACF is 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 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 with other students who share that same desire.
We seek to foster a community of believers throughout Rochester area who will support each other in living the Christian life and to reach out to non-believers on campus, spreading the gospel through campus evangelism and incitation to our meetings. It also provides different outreach and serving opportunities as a part of the discipleship process for students.
