The Principles of Life

God-Centered: “Glory of God”

The glory of God is our joy and our purpose. Glory of God is not merely a catchall phrase for SFC. We make it a conscious factor in every aspect of SFC ministries. By beholding the glory of God, we seek to allow God to become our driving power. In every step, we ask what would be pleasing to God, and not to men.

Bible-Centered: “Whole Counsel of God”

We believe that nothing but a faithful study, preaching, teaching, and application of the Word of God will lead us to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and His reign upon our lives. In each of our SFC chapters, a leader who is trained in the Word of God leads Bible study and discipleship. As these leaders faithfully nurture the students with God’s Word, students are transformed by the power of the gospel, so that their minds are renewed and their hearts are set afire.

Church-Centered: “Church of God”

We are a church-centered movement that is governed by church, sent by church, and that seeks to lead students to church, so that they may be parts of the glorious body of Christ, who is the Head of the Church. SFC is an extension of the church and recognizes the importance of growing in the body of Christ. To this end, we instill churchmanship to the students and link them with Bible-centered local churches.

Our Standards

Sola Scriptura (Our Standard)

The standards by which a child of God should live is scripture alone. Hence, it is important for a Christian to dwell upon the Word of God. For “how can a young man keep his way pure?” asks King David. “By living according to [God’s] word.”

Sola Gratia (Our Content)

The main content of a Christian’s life is the grace of God. It is because God’s grace fills us everyday that we are able to live in faith for his glory. It is by God’s grace alone that we are saved, that we can enjoy life, and that we can have faith.

Sola Fide (Our Foundation)

A child of God is to live by faith alone. Faith alone is the foundation upon which we stand. All that we do is rooted in faith in God to fulfill his promises, which are contained in Scripture, to us. By faith we are saved, by faith we live, and by faith we will be made holy.

Solus Christus (Our Savior)

If anyone is saved, it is on the basis of Christ alone. There is salvation in no one else. God gives no other name under heaven by which men can be saved (Acts 4:12). This truth separates Christianity from all falsehood: Sinners are saved in Christ alone.

Soli Deo Gloria (Our Purpose)

The purpose of every child of God must be to give glory only to God in all that he or she does. This includes our academics, our social life, our future – all areas of our life!

Coram Deo (Our Attitude)

A child of God must remember that everyday he or she lives before God who bears witness to all that he or she does. We must keep in mind that God knows of all things and that he is present everywhere.
