Agape House is a community of students, staff and faculty from UIC that gather together to learn, share and grow in our faith journey. Rooted in the Protestant Christian tradition, we share our lives and faith together through worship, fellowship, study, and service.
Whether you come from a particular faith background or none at all, you are welcome to join us as we engage in questions about life and explore God's call for each one of us. It doesn't matter what you look like, who you love, or where you come from, we look forward to knowing you and joining you in your faith journey!

Join us for our last Hallowed Ground of the semester. Everyone is invited! Dinner starts at 6:30pm
A discussion that explores how sexuality and spirituality inform each other, influence each other and enhance each other. We will discuss what relation spirituality has to sexuality and (hopefully all) other related topics!
Is all you hear from religion that sexuality and spirituality are mutually exclusive? Are you constantly badgered to dispense with your sexuality in order to be spiritual? Has a religious institution proclaimed that your particular sexual orientation is evil, bad or abnormal?
Once a week on Mondays from 12:30-1:30pm, in SCE (Tower) Rm 610, we will hold a Bible study discussion.
Join us in exploring the scriptures, seeking deeper knowledge of the book of Christian faith. We will use various tools in our exploration including but not limited to cultural analysis, language and translation analysis, literary analysis and reader experience analysis. We will engage the Bible from multi-cultural, multi-denominational and multi-racial perspectives.

Wherever the Spirit Shall Appear
It would be nice if we could all recognize the Spirit when we see Her. Sometimes we don't realize what we saw until long after the moment. Some days, our spirits are open, and some days they are distracted. Other times, we have completely shut ourselves off to certain places where the Spirit manifests (whether we like it or not).
This is a transcript of the sermon I gave this past Sunday at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church in Chicago, IL. It comes from the readings of Philippians 3:4b-14 and Psalm 19.
