Agape Christian Fellowship at CUNY

Agape Christian Fellowship at CUNY is a student organization dedicated to exploring the intersection of Christian values and social justice within the context of legal education. Based in Long Island City, NY, the organization serves law students seeking to deepen their understanding of how faith traditions can inform and strengthen public interest legal practice. The group's name derives from the Greek word 'agape,' meaning love, and specifically represents God's love for humanity—a foundational concept that guides the organization's mission and activities.

The fellowship provides a supportive community for spiritual growth and intellectual engagement through structured study of the Bible and Christian tradition. Members participate in discussions and educational programs designed to help them integrate their faith commitments with their legal studies and career aspirations. By bringing together students who are passionate about both Christianity and justice-oriented lawyering, Agape Christian Fellowship creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue about how religious values can motivate and sustain work in the public interest legal sector.

Operating within CUNY Law's broader commitment to training outstanding public interest attorneys, Agape Christian Fellowship aligns with the institution's mission to use law as a tool for social good. The organization recognizes that diverse perspectives and backgrounds—including spiritual and religious traditions—contribute valuable dimensions to legal education and practice. Through regular meetings, Bible study sessions, and community engagement, the fellowship helps law students at the Long Island City campus develop both their professional capabilities and their spiritual foundations as they prepare to serve communities and advance justice.
