God began by making one person, and from Him came all the different people who live everywhere in the world. God decided exactly when and where they must live. God wanted them to look for Him and perhaps search all around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any of us: ‘We live in Him. We walk in Him. We are in Him’…‘For we are His children.’ Acts 17:25-28

The mission of Athletics is to advance the Kingdom by glorifying God through sport and competition. We feel that when athletics is kept in the right perspective, our student-athletes are allowed to develop without fear of failure and push to reach their full potential. It is without that fear, a learned push for excellence, and a heart for service that they become equipped to grow into young men and women who live fully for God in a rapidly-changing world.
