The primary purpose of CSAF, Inc. is to develop Christ-like character through quality athletic programs, with attention given to fellowship, respect for opponents, playing heartily as unto the Lord, and Christian fun.

In 1980, a small group of Dallas and Fort Worth area schools came together seeking competition in a Christian environment. In the Fall of 1984, the first organized schedules were developed and the Christian Schools Athletic Fellowship was founded.  From the 
beginning, CSAF has been unique in the fact that it offers district and post season competition at the

Elementary, Junior High and High School levels.

In the summer of 2004, CSAF became incorporated in anticipation of expanding the High School division into a statewide league. That statewide organization was introduced in the spring of 2005 as Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship.

TCAF now oversees the High School Division in 20 Varsity State Championships and 2 JV Championships.

CSAF continues to oversee the Elementary and Jr. High Divisions in 12 Junior High Regional Tournaments and 16 Elementary District Tournaments.

In the Spring of 2009, in celebration of our 25th anniversary, two Fine Arts Divisions were introduced, Christian Schools Artistic Fellowship and Texas Christian Artistic Fellowship. These Divisions now offer Fine Art Festivals for Drama, Music, Visual Arts, Interpretive Arts and One Act Play Competitions.
