Volunteer Opportunities

Share your love of Santa Fe Christian by joining a team of parents that help admissions by connecting with prospective families in various ways. Ambassadors lead campus tours, explain the SFC experience, and welcome families to the community. For more information contact admissions@sfcs.net.

Adopt a Senior is a wonderful way to support our 12th grade students and their families as they complete their final year at SFC. This behind-the-scenes ministry lifts up every SFC senior in prayer. For more information please contact adoptasenior@sfcs.net.

Make a difference by being a part of raising funds for our school. October is the beginning of the Annual Giving Drive where you can volunteer as a Giving Captain. Volunteering in this capacity is easy, rewarding, and can be done from home. In April, there are opportunities to serve at the Auction. Annual Giving and the Auction are the only fundraising efforts we do at SFC. For more information, contact rforougi@sfcs.net.

Each school division has a team of parents who coordinate volunteer needs and assist with school events. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact jluther@sfcs.net for Lower School, tking@sfcs.net for Middle School, or ktaylor@sfcs.net for Upper School.

Women of SFC desire to connect and deepen the faith of every woman in the SFC community. The Women of SFC gather for breakfast and an encouraging message monthly. Additionally, women are given the opportunity to join Mentor360! where current SFC moms are paired with seasoned moms for one-on-one mentorship. Also, Moms in Prayer is open to all moms of SFC students K-12 for a weekly beach walk. If you have any questions regarding Women of SFC, please contact womenofsfc@sfcs.net

Men of SFC aim to connect SFC dads and build a community of godly men and serve our school in a Christ-like fashion. They gather once a month to hear an uplifting message, be inspired, socialize and eat! There is an opportunity for all dads to participate in the Dad’s Dawn Patrol, which helps manage the drop-off process. For more information, contact menofsfc@sfcs.net

ACCREDITATION – SFC is accredited by ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International), WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges), and by ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability).

ANNUAL GIVING – Each year we ask all our families to prayerfully make a gift of any size to SFC. Your annual financial gifts over and above tuition and fees allow us to provide a higher quality experience for our students. These gifts support financial assistance, state-of-the-art safety and security, excellence in curriculum, and teacher development.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS – The Board of Directors aims to protect, advance, and promote the Mission and Vision of SFC. Learn more about our Board on MySchoolApp.

CHAPEL – At SFC, faith is an integral part of everything. Since God is the author of all things, SFC students have an opportunity to glorify, honor, and praise Him through participation in the school’s chapel program. Students in Lower, Middle, and Upper School attend chapel weekly where sessions focus on the specific needs of each age group. Typically, there are inspirational speakers, a time for worship, and prayer.

CHRISTMAS GALA – This traditional SFC event is a beautiful and festive celebration created as a thank you to those who donate or pledge $3000 or more to our Annual Giving Drive. It’s a perfect way to launch into the Christmas season!

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS – These courses are a great way for students to explore interests, develop new athletic skills, or ensure an academic pathway. Throughout the school year, there are a variety of after-school enrichment programs for our K-5th graders. We offer a selection of fun courses to extend your child’s learning experience. Contact Kelly Whitton at kwhitton@sfcs.net for more information.

– The primary objective of our Global Ministry and Community Partnerships is to glorify God as we mentor students in spiritual formation: fellowship, study, service, prayer, and sharing faith. Additionally, we hope our students develop empathy and build cross cultural connections, learning from the cultures and communities we seek to serve as well as from our fellow team members. In years past, our students have partnered with organizations locally and internationally. They have worked in the Dominican Republic, Fiji, France, India, Israel, Italy, Nepal, Russia, Rwanda, Thailand, Uganda, Arizona, Kentucky, Texas, and City Heights, a neighborhood of San Diego.

MEMBER – A SFC Member is a Christian parent or guardian of a current SFC student. Each family designates one person who will represent their family as the voting Member each year. If a person is not designated, the default Member is the financially responsible person. There is only one Member per family. Annually, in the month of May, Members cast votes for open seats on the Board of Directors.

QUAD – The center or hub of the Upper and Middle School campuses.

RETREATS – Grade-level retreats model for students the priority to occasionally step away from daily routines in order to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. All retreats are similar in goals yet each one is unique. Friendships with peers and faculty are transformed and strengthened, the class becomes united, and most importantly, the students grow in their faith.

SENIOR BUSINESS WEEK – This is the culmination of our senior students’ year-end Economics project. Students work in teams and are tasked to develop viable businesses that include methodology, metrics, and processes. They work in teams and eventually invite the entire school community to visit their “business” at Senior Business Week. Funds raised by the students are donated to the school as the Senior Class Gift.

SFCtv – The production of these broadcasts is 100% student-run and includes livestream of sports, special events, and Chapel. During the football season, the crew of nearly 20 Upper School students produce, direct, and live-stream every football game. Also, two sideline reporters are actively providing insights and interviews throughout the game. Visit sfcs.net or Vimeo to watch a livestream.
