Afro-Christian Fellowship
Celebrate Faith and Culture with the Afro-Christian Fellowship (ACF)
Campus Ministry offers Black students and students of African descent a vibrant community where students can experience a sense of belonging and share the joy of their Christian faith.
Join us as we gather over the table, pray, sing together, dance, and share cultural faith traditions. Afro Christian Fellowship meets monthly at Campus Ministry. Although tailored to Black and African students, all are welcome.
"ACF has created a safe and welcoming space on campus for me to connect with fellow Christians from similar ethnic backgrounds to praise and worship God, read, share and understand the scriptures. Through ACF I feel seen and welcomed not just at campus ministry but at campus as a whole. It helps me deepened my faith and relationship with God while also including my culture - both my faith and culture are big part of my identity so being able to embrace both in a shared space with others is an amazing feeling and I thank ACF for that."
