A cult of the cockiest group of UVA students you will ever meet. Can often be seen wearing Nike basketball apparel, talking like they are hot stuff when in reality they couldn’t even make it on a Division 3 athletic team. Almost all of them are pre-med but are too lazy to work hard. They are often found in groups at Clemons looking at thecourseforum to take all GPA booster classes such as learn to groove, and they refuse to work for Bachelor of Science Degrees because that would actually be too much hard work for them. This may be a result of them living off of their parent's money. Also found exclusively in music and theology classes despite being "interested" in medicine. Sorriest bunch of fake Christians as they take every greedy shortcut in life. Identifiable by the pathetic use of "Champ-yoon" and "Champ-Hoon" to their name.
Pathetic GCF #1: "Man, because we're in Grace Christian Fellowship we're totally the coolest people in the world. Let's go Champ-Yoon at basketball after I finish my Learn to Groove Class because I'm too pathetically stupid to take real or challenging science courses even though I'm pre-med"
Pathetic GCF #2: "I agree, we are definitely the coolest people ever. Even though I only bench 135 pounds, let me pound my chest and scream loudly in my cutoff t-shirt on the basketball court. But first I have to go look on courseforum for another music class, I'm so afraid of taking a real class"

Liberal Christian offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention. CBF's focus is on egalitarian social and political policies along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.
CBF does not explicitly deny the truth of the Bible, but they emphasize that individual believers can interpret the Bible any way that they choose. This tact on interpreting the Bible can easily provide a liberal Christian with the license to make the Bible into a wax-nose so that one can twist the Bible to justify whatever one wants to read into the text. This loose approach to reading and being instructed in the Bible comes from CBF's so-called "Four Freedoms": (1)Soul Freedom-a direct relationship with God without intermediaries (2)Bible Freedom-each person can interpret the Bible for himself without direction from anyone but God (or who one can easily deceive oneself into believing is God, viz. oneself who wants what he wants and wants it now) (3)Church Freedom-local church autonomy (4)Religious Freedom-as defined by egalitarian leftists at the ACLU. The CBF is affiliated with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which opposes such benign policies as allowing for Ten Commandment displays.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship member reflecting on Deuteronomy 24 after his wife has burnt the toast: "I see here right in the Bible that I can divorce my wife if she displeases me. So, I shall divorce her and marry my sexier secretary. After she gets some mileage on her, I shall trade her in, too. I am so glad that I read the Bible and follow God's Word."

An offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention that is not as committed to defending the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible as the SBC since Evangelicals recaptured the denomination from liberals and moderates. CBF also presents a more egalitarian set of policies on social and political issues along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.
