Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

WE BELIEVE there is only one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, and His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace alone through faith, apart from works, by the merit of the shed blood of Christ, and that the bornagain believer is eternally secure in Christ.

WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE in the ministry of the Holy Spirit by indwelling the Christian, enabling him to live a Godly life.

WE BELIEVE in the individual priesthood of the believer.

OUR CORE VALUES of Scholarship, Mentorship, Companionship, Stewardship, and Worship flow out of our love for Christ, inspiring “The Santa Fe Way.” We produced The Santa Fe Way Prayer Journal, a daily prayer guide based on our core values, to prompt you in your own conversation with the Lord.

SANTA FE CHRISTIAN has a rich history dating back to 1937. Originally developed as a California motel resort called The Las Flores Inn, it was comprised of 50 rooms and a swimming pool. The inn was a sought-after location for the Hollywood elite attending the Del Mar races. However, during WWII the fairgrounds became a B-17 manufacturing plant and the inn fell into disrepair. In 1958, the San Diego Military Academy purchased the resort and converted the rooms into cadet barracks. The Academy grew and in 1962 they built a chapel with offices.

IN 1977, Christian Unified, looking for a North County campus, purchased the land from the Academy and reopened as Santa Fe Christian School. The first class of SFC seniors graduated in 1978. Suddenly, in 1985, Christian Unified notified parents that due to financial reasons, they would be closing the school and selling the property. Thankfully, this was not the end of our story.

IN AN ACT OF FAITH, courage, and dedication, the parents of SFC rallied together to keep the doors open. With their love of the school and trust in the Lord, they were able to reopen as Santa Fe Christian Community School, rehire teachers, acquire the necessary equipment, and reinstate CIF sports.

THEN SFC purchased the 17-acre Solana Beach property where it continues to serve as a light on the hill.

TODAY, we are a school of nearly 1,100 students representing a total of 698 families with a mission of building Christian leaders of tomorrow.

SFC PROVIDES PARENTS with many opportunities to serve and utilize their leadership gifts! Men of SFC, Women of SFC, Development, Admissions, service teams, room parents, coaches, and classroom volunteers all offer great opportunities for service.
