Though all our programs are open to people of every religion, FOCI and CSU are grounded in the Christian faith, drawing our inspiration from the love of God lived out in Jesus’ life.  Along with our compassionate outreach to all, FOCI also provides support to the minority Christian community, underwriting pastors’ salaries in rural villages, and providing periodic funds for church building and repair.
