Grace Philosophy of Athletics
Athletics are part of God's creation. As such, athletics are intended to bring glory to Him, our Heavenly Father. Christians are commanded to be different from the world around them, and this difference should be reflected in our athletes. We teach our students to play sports and to live life from a Christian perspective, rather than man's perspective.
Athletics from a Christian perspective should have several distinct characteristics that when followed allow us as coaches, athletes and spectators to bring glory to God. These distinctives are drawn from God's Word and, therefore, may be different from "the world's" viewpoint.
It is vital that each Christian athlete, coach and spectator be willing to submit, make changes, grow and mature so that God will be pleased. Christ is to be the center of all our attention, both on and off the athletic field.
We are to have His attitudes, His actions, and His mindset in every endeavor.
