The State Varsity Christian Fellowship

Who We Are

The State Varsity Christian Fellowship - UP Manila is a hub of students and alumni at the University of the Philippines Manila who believe that there is more to this life than we realize. Only in God could we find such meaning and color in the life journey we take.

The community aims to be a source of inspiration, discipleship and TRUE spirituality among the students of the campus. We believe that through changing the heart of the campus through God's love, we're changing the nation.

Where and When We Meet

Execom and Committee Heads at our Tambayan. LAST SUPPER BA 'to? Joke :D

We meet regularly except on Sundays (where there are no people at the College of Arts and Sciences, UP Manila) at our Tambayan (SVCF Tambayan) beside the CAS UPM Guardhouse. CGs or Cell Groups are held everyday, where sharing, fellowship, and inspiration are experienced.

Prayer during Execom Meetings every Friday

DPMs or Daily Prayer Meetings are also held at the Tambayan. Execom meetings and prayer gatherings are held every Wednesday lunchtime.

Big F's or Big Fellowship are also held at the homebase, every Friday where CGs and students from different Christian orgs can mingle. Speakers are from IVCF Philippines and they occasionally visit the tambayan every so often.

Our Statement of Faith

The Statement of faith is our declaration. We BELIEVE in the...

1. The unity of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead (Isa. 44:6; 1 Cor. 8:6; Heb 1:8ff; 1 Cor. 3: 17ff; Matt 28:19).

2. The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption, and final judgement (Gen. 1; Isa. 55; Deut 29:29; 2 Tim. 3:16ff; Jn. 3:16; Acts 2:22ff; 1 Pet. 4:5).

3. The divine inspiration and the entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (Matt. 5:18; Jn. 10:35; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21; Matt. 4:1-11; Acts 4:18ff).

4. The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to God's wrath and condemnation (Gen. 3; Rom. 1:18-3:20; Rom. 5:12-21).

5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion, and pollution of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God (Mk. 10:45; Rom. 5:19; Heb. 9:26, 28; 1 Pet. 2:24; Acts 4:12).

6. The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead and His ascension to the right hand of God the Father. (Lk. 24:31, 36; Jn. 20:19; 1 Cor. 15:20-23; Acts 1:9-11; Lk. 24:50ff; Heb. 1:3, 4).

7. The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration. (Jn. 3:33ff; 1 Pet. 1:23; 1 Jn. 3:14; Eph. 2:5; Col. 2:13; 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 Cor. 3:16; Jn. 14:16).

8. The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone. (Rom. 3:20; Gal. 2:16; Rom. 5:9; Tit. 3:7; Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11).

9. The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer. (Rev. 3:20, 22; 2 Cor. 3:18; Gal 5:22; Rom. 8:26; Eph. 4; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 6:10-18).

10. The only Holy Universal church which is the Body of Christ to which all true believers belong. (Eph. 4:7-16; Eph. 5:25).

11. The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Jn. 14:3; Acts 1:11; Matt. 24:30; 1 Thess. 4:15-17; Rev. 22:20; Matt. 24:36; Acts 1:7; 1 Thess. 5:2; Mk. 13:33-37).

Da Vinci Code: Fact or Fiction?

Did Jesus and Mary Magdalene ever have a child?

What is the Priory of Sion?

Does the Last Supper cup symbolizes the womb of Mary Magdalene?

Is the Bible reliable?

Did Christianity cover-up the truth about Jesus?

Dan Brown said SEEK THE TRUTH, and so the State Varsity Christian Fellowship invites everyone to journey into REAL history and find out what is fact and what is completely fiction.

The Da Vinci Code: Fact or Fiction?

Execom goes to the Mountain

June 6, 2006, was a special day for the core group of SVCF. We went up to the Touch of Glory Prayer Mountain to search out God's will for SVCF Manila this coming semester. It was indeed fulfilling, and it was like an encounter of the Burning Bush.

Those present were: Ron, Faith, Dianne, Francis, and Ate Ida. Exciting events are coming up this sem, but beyond that, praise God for giving us fresh eyes and a new vision for the org.

Jeremiah 33:3 says: Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.

For those who couldn't come but included us in their prayers, thank you. For the walk of each member in God is also the walk of SVCF. :D

Merry Christmas!!!

Jesus is the reason for the season!

God didn't sent us a kingly man to give us treasures, or a genie that puffs out of a bottle to fulfill all our wishes. He sent us a baby that night on a manger . . . just enough to touch your heart, and to renew your spirit.

When the Jews were expecting a king, God sent a lowly baby.
When shepherds are expecting a sleepy night with their sheep, God sent a choir of angels.
When the wise men gazed at the stars that night, God showed them a revelation.
When the world was so gloomy and silent, God sent Jesus to rekindle the hope that was thought to have long gone out.

The State Varsity Christian Fellowship Manila wishes your a very MERRY and MIGHTY CHRISTmas and a BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!! :D
