Aotearoa

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!

~ Psalm 133:1

TSCF

Confessional

They are united in the truth and want clarity on essential biblical doctrines. Their leaders are professing Christians. They have a Basis of Belief, and most of the student groups have a membership clause.

Evangelical

They are unashamed of and united in the gospel. Mobilising people into mission on campus is their main agenda. David Bebbington (1989) identifies four markers of evangelicalism –

Biblicism: the importance of the Bible
Crucicentrism: the cross at the heart of the gospel
Conversionism: God converts people
Activism: the gospel relates to the whole of life

Relational

People are at the heart of our work. They seek to invest in students and see gospel-fuelled transformation in all areas of their lives.

Partnership

They are positive about inter-church involvement and recognise that some of the biggest hurdles are overcome when people see we are uniting people for mission on campus.

Student leadership

They want to see students stretched and developed, and watch each generation’s influence grow far beyond their campuses. Our motto in te reo Māori is “He ākonga ki ngā ākonga hei ara whakawhiti mō te Karaiti” – students to students making a bridge to Christ.

Kiwi

They want to positively shape what “Kiwi” means. This includes the unique place of tangata whenua and embraces Pakeha, Pacific Island, Asian and other elements. They believe it is important that resources are developed in Aotearoa that reflect thier culture and heritage. This commitment to indigenous mission is entirely compatible with global partnership and in fact strengthens and sharpens the unique contribution we can make beyond these islands.

At the heart of Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship (TSCF) are student-led, campus-based groups.TSCF’s vision is to help thousands of students become servant leaders of character through the transforming gospel of Christ. Following personal conversion and guided by biblical wisdom, they will integrate faith, study, work and life, and bring cultural renewal to New Zealand’s tertiary institutions.
