Smart Faith
Apologetics
SFA is currently meeting at a Salinas church, but we're developing online classes, which we'll introduce soon!
Smart Faith
on Campus
Smart Faith on Campus is an apologetic based Bible Study, meeting on Hartnell Main Campus in Salinas and at CSUMB in Monterey.
Details for 2024 school years ASAP
WHAT IS SMART FAITH
APOLOGETICS?
It's Apologetics and Theological Training!
SMART FAITH is a theology and apologetic* class which seeks to provide training along with good answers to questions about the Christian faith.
​
Smart Faith is a training program that helps you grow and become really rooted in your faith. Our goal is to train you in the faith and providing the evidence and reasons for what you believe--not only for your own growth, but to help you tell others about Jesus.
Topics include:
-
Next-level training in Christian doctrine
-
The philosophical and theological REASONS to believe in the Christian faith
-
Help in evangelism--how to start conversations with friends, family, co-workers, etc.
_______________________________
* In this context, the word apologetic doesn't mean "to say you're sorry." It's a term meaning "to defend", as in *using reason to defend your viewpoint.*
WHAT IS SMART FAITH
ON CAMPUS?
It's a Bible study and MORE!
At SFOC, we look at the teaching of the Bible while at the same time answering questions about God and Christianity. Everyone is welcome! This is guaranteed to be a fascinating introduction to what God has to say to mankind.
Studies include:
-
Bible teaching from a trained conservative evangelical minister
-
Reasoned and reasonable insights
-
No weird stuff
-
Just the truth about what the Bible says, and why it makes sense

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
Written by one of Jesus' apostles, the Gospel of John is a fascinating blend of reverent imagery and insights into the life and teachings of Jesus!
- We'll start with "how did we even get the Bible?"
- Is it a reliable document?
- Who's John and why is he writing?

WHAT DOES A SMART FAITH ON CAMPUS MEETUP LOOK LIKE?
We'll spend some time hanging out and supporting each other.
Then we'll open up the Bible and see what it has to say--to us and to a hurting world.
We'll include proofs that the Bible is a reliable doctrine, and we'll ground it in reason and logic.
We're here to really digest what the Bible has to say, so questions and discussion are encouraged! As long as you're open to listening, no real question will ever be denied.
​
We meet on TUESDAYS EVERY WEEK
11:30-12:30 in the Student Center
NEXT MEETINGS TBA - keep in touch!
