Our Ministry
large group
Join us every Friday evening for our weekly Large Group gathering, alternating between the University of Rochester and RIT campuses. Each gathering includes worship, biblical teaching, and fellowship with students from both campuses. Whether you're exploring Christianity or have been following Jesus for years, you're welcome to join us. Throughout the year, we also gather for special events such as potlucks, Bonfire Worship Night, Operation Christmas Child, Valentine's Banquet, Winter Retreat, and other opportunities to grow in faith, build friendships, serve others, and have fun together.
small group
Small Groups are the heart of our community. Meeting weekly in groups of students, we study the Bible, ask honest questions, pray for one another, and encourage each other to grow in our relationship with Christ. It's a place where meaningful friendships are formed, lives are shared, and faith is strengthened. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been a Christian for years, Small Groups provide a welcoming environment where everyone can belong and grow together.
discipleship
Pastor Charles (PC),Jueun and mature student leaders meetup with students for discipleship on a regular basis. Discipleship involves teaching, sharing, and discussing about our relationships with God, living a Christian life, and applying God’s words to the things we encounter day to day. The Bible and other Christian books are the main resources we use for discipleship.
campus evangelism
To share the Good News with more people on campus, we go out and meet new people each week. We want to live out God’s command to go make disciples of all nations and know that He will help guide and awaken those who seek to find the Gospel truth.
prayer meetings
The prayer warriors in ACF meet every Sunday from 5:30-6:30PM in person with a virtual option. Our prayer meetings begin with a song of praise, followed by reading a chapter of the Bible. We pray for our schools, families, friends, churches in Rochester, North America, and all nations around the world.
fellowship
Besides large group and small groups, there are lots of fun events and activities throughout the year in ACF. Students become friends and bond with each other through potlucks, picnics, games, apple picking, and Valentine’s Day banquet.
winter retreat
ACF’s annual winter retreat takes place on the first weekend of each Spring semester with a different theme each year. Through the retreat, students are encouraged and challenged to prioritize their relationship with God. We have worship, messages given by special speakers, small group discussions, and individual time of reflection. We also do group games during down time. This is the highlight of our calendar year as a ministry. We devote a lot of time and resources to ensure an impactful weekend!
