We know how vital encouragement and support are when stepping out to engage a community with the good news of Jesus. At the Support Office, we develop resources to encourage and equip SFC leaders to live out God’s call to be a light in the shred culture. We’ve created an online discipleship course, vision-casting tools, gospel-sharing tools, and are actively working on a podcast to encourage the wider SFC network! In addition to creating resources, we like to get hands-on with it and actually visit SFC Leaders in person. Every year, different members of our team go on T.I.M.E. Travel Trips to visit new and existing leaders to talk, pray together, and spur them on.

Gathering the SFC community together in one place for worship, encouragement, and fellowship reminds each of us that God has called so many people to this unique mission: to be a light in the shred community. Each year, we get together as regions, nations, and sometimes entire continents to spur one another on. As the Support Office Staff, we plan, market, and execute these events.

Scholarships come in all shapes and sizes. Scholarships are used when money is the only thing holding someone back from attending an SFC conference, retreat, or event. The last thing we want is for someone not to be trained and equipped or for someone to miss an opportunity to hear the love of Jesus because of money.

In order to keep hundreds of leaders all over the world encouraged in this mission, we need a lot of fine-tuned efforts and systems. The wide net of “operations” ranges from communicating the happenings of the ministry through written and digital communication, making it easy for new leaders to get connected, fulfilling merch orders, and completing payroll for staff members. God has called staff members with diverse backgrounds and professional experiences to apply their skills to shred ministry, and all of them are needed in order to steward it well!
