CYF-SLJ Biennial Convention

Kalayaan Christian Church

Ibabao, Cuenca, Batangas

Under the Constitution, the jurisdictional CYF shall have the following responsibilities:

1. To develop their own program responsive to their needs;
2. To raise funds, prepare and approve their budget;
3. To elect their own set of officers;
4. To promulgate their by-laws and policies to govern their affairs in accordance with this Constitution;
5. To carry-out policies and implement programs of the National Assembly; and
6. To elect their representatives to the higher judicatories.

Most do not know, however, that the essence of the above-mentioned responsibilities had already been shouldered by the first SLJC-CYF president, Patricia Lynn P. Salvador. She was elected on August 4, 1974 at the UCCP Headquarters, in Quezon City in the presence of Bishops Abainza and Hernandez. She was re-elected in 1976. During her tenure as an active SLJC-CYF president, she passed the bar examinations, proof that her faithfulness in serving God did not hinder her from doing well academically.

It was then under the leadership of lawyer Patricia Lynn P. Salvador and other UCCP CYFers that the National CYF Constitution and By-Laws were drafted.

The SLJC-CYF presidents who followed Pat Salvador consistently implemented the spirit of the NCYF Constitution and By-Laws. They are:

            Mr. Ben C. Organo                              1978-1982

            Mr. Dan Eadvert Dames Sr.                 1982-1983

            Mr. Carlito Signo                                  1983-1984

            Engr. Eddie Cacha                                1984-1986

            Mr. Gabriel Romero                             1986-1988

            Mr. Mike Quiros                                  1988-1990

            Mr. Luisito Saliendra                            1990-1992

            Mr. Rommel Linatoc                             1992-1998

            Mr. Ian Joseph Saliendra                      1998-2002

            Mr. Czar K. Quinto                              2002-2006

            Mr. Jayjay Graciano R. Dames 2006-2008

The SLJC-CYF has likewise published ABKD Manual to clarify misconceptions about the young people of our church. This manual states the purpose, the vision, mission and goals of the SLJC-UCCP.

SLJC-CYF leaders also participated in the discussion/consultation/forum/workshops of the proposed UCCP Constitution and By Laws before it was approved and ratified. A SLJC-CYF caravan put the leadership in touch with youth in different conferences.

Because of their concern for the financial conditions of the jurisdiction, the youth have embarked on a Finance Resource Mobilization Program to inform the CYFs on Christian Stewardship.

It is inspiring to note that the most of the early Protestants in the country were young people, who, with their youthful zeal and dynamic evangelistic efforts paved the way for the vigorous growth of Protestantism in the Philippines.

Today, our young people are involved in campus ministries. Many of our SLJC-CYFers wish to enter the ministry in response to the challenges of the time. They need our prayers.
