Welcome to Agape. We are an inclusive faith community that celebrates
God’s love and grace on the Illinois State University campus.

Our Gathering Home


(Ancient Greek: ἀγάπη, agápē) ä-ˈgä- pā

Selfless love of one person for another (especially love that is spiritual in nature).

Community Meals

We love just getting together with people, sharing good food, and getting to know one another.  For us the meal is inspired by the way that Jesus loved to feed people, to eat with everyone, and to bring people together.

  • We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is the most powerful force in the world.
  • We strive for a world where there is justice for all people.
  • We practice a Christian faith where science is celebrated, and is not opposed to faith.
  • We are a community of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds as well as various gender and sexual identities, and our goal is that everyone be fully valued and celebrated.

  • The AGAPE community is a partnership of the Lutheran Student Movement and Judson Fellowship
