About Agape Christian Fellowship at CUNY
Agape Christian Fellowship represents a vibrant community within CUNY Law's student body, bringing together law students in Long Island City, NY who seek to integrate their Christian faith with their legal education and commitment to social justice. The organization takes its name from the Greek concept of agape love—God's unconditional love for humanity—and uses this principle as the foundation for all its activities and community building.
The fellowship creates a welcoming space where students can explore how Christian values and teachings foster deeper engagement with social justice work. Rather than separating faith from legal practice, Agape Christian Fellowship demonstrates how spiritual traditions can strengthen and sustain lawyers committed to public interest work. The organization supports members through Bible study, discussion of Christian tradition, and collaborative exploration of how faith informs ethical legal practice and commitment to justice.
Located in the diverse Long Island City community, Agape Christian Fellowship embodies CUNY Law's core values of equity, inclusivity, and the pursuit of justice. The organization recognizes that addressing systemic injustices requires sustained effort and diverse perspectives. By fostering spiritual growth alongside legal development, the fellowship helps students build resilience and moral clarity as they navigate complex social issues. Members find in Agape Christian Fellowship a community of peers who share both their faith commitments and their dedication to using law as a transformative tool for addressing overlapping and intersecting forms of oppression.
