OUR STORY

Our Story

After being involved in many different christian organizations for years the need for a simple relational young adult ministry became obvious and set Matt Sherry and Caleb out on the adventure in 2009. 

Our Community

SURF was created in 2009 as a grass roots relational ministry for young adults, became a 501(c)3 organization, grew into a church for all ages, covid hit SURF into becoming a predominantly online ministry, 2023 SURF ETSU began, and is currently actively doing relational ministry on campus, at the Cross crib, and online.  

Our Family

Through the years of SURFing life together God has formed more than a community, He turned this little simplified ministry into a family. And that family continues to grow to this day. 

OUR VISION

20/20 clarity

Seems to be so many great solid ministries where ever we look, so our vision is to not replicate the same opportunity. SURF offers a different flavor for those seeking a more simplified, more “unplugged”, real, relevant, relational approach. 

Vision of real life

SURF is not an event driven ministry. There are a lot of ministries that do that really well, we just don’t. We do food, chilling by a fire, playing cards, and more food really well. So we see real life as our sweet spot. 

Back to the Future

SURFing together doesn’t stop at graduation. We build on the relational foundation we formed together to stay involved in one another’s lives. 

OUR PLATFORM

In Person

We offer once a week large gathering, mid week small groups to dive deeper, game / hangout nights at the Cross crib, serving opportunities, 

On Campus

We try to get on college campuses as much as possible for sporting events, lunches, large group gatherings, and anything else we can think of to be on campus. 

Online

We offer a wide range of high quality online experiences through podcasts, social media, group texting, devotional and bible follow along through other apps, 

OUR BELIEFS

MISSION - LOVE GOD / LOVE YOU / LOVE OTHERS

VISION - SURF exists to create and share content that forms a catalyst of transformation through interactive relational development with Jesus Christ.

PURPOSE - ’Redefine’ church by it's original definition, just a group of people getting to together to hang out, eat, talk about Jesus, figure out ways to serve, edify, love and live life the way it was meant to be lived. 

  • We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, trustworthy and true, without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  • We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
  • We believe Jesus Christ is God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that paid for our sin through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28) 
  • We believe that acceptance of Jesus Christ and the corresponding renewal of the Holy Spirit is the only path to salvation for lost/sinful men and women. (John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7)
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who lives within and guides Christians, so they are enabled to live godly lives. (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13-14)
  • We believe in eternal life and that through belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. We believe that in rejecting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive eternal suffering in hell. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) 
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ that all believers are members of His body, the church. (Philippians 2:1-4)

The Cross crib home is such a huge part of SURF, that we knew there was no other place we could have the studio. So, we gutted a room and use it as the SURFstudio.
