Our Mission
Promoting the Discovery of Jesus Through Sports.
Our Values
The Expectation of God Moments – We believe that God is at work
all around us.
For
we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10
The Life of Integrity – We believe that how we live is more
important than what we say.
I
have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20
The Opportunity to Serve – We believe that it is a privilege to
serve others.
For
even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many. – Mark 10:45
The Discipline of Excellence – We believe in exceeding
expectations.
And
whatever you do, whether in word or deed; do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. – Colossians 3:17
The Priority of Children – We believe that every child is a
winner.
In
the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones
should be lost. – Matthew 18:14
