We are excited to introduce and develop discipleship skills to these students that will equip them to lead as they grow in their faith walk through middle school, high school and beyond!
Ways to grow
Engage
We Engage relationally with others in a variety of environments by building genuine trust, sharing our lives, and sharing the Gospel. We strive to connect with coaches and athletes where they are at on their spiritual journey.
After cultivating relationships and once coaches and athletes come to faith in Christ, we want to Equip them with Christ-centered training, tools, and ongoing support. We desire to Equip them with God’s Word so they can grow in Christ and help others know and grow in Him.
Once equipped, we Empower coaches and athletes to help others experience salvation in Jesus, grow in their faith, and share Him with others. We desire to Engage, Equip, and Empower coaches and athletes to make disciples who do the same to others.

God Loves You
God made you and loves you! His love is boundless and unconditional. God is real, and He wants you to personally experience His love and discover His purpose of your life through a relationship with Him.
Sin Separates You
You cannot experience God’s love when you ignore Him. People search everywhere for meaning and fulfilment—but not with God. They don’t trust God and ignore His ways. The Bible calls this sin. Everyone has sinned.
Sin damages your relationships with other people and with God. It keeps us from experiencing the fulfilling life that God intends for us. The result: you are eternally separated from God and the life He planned for you.
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Isaiah 59:2
Jesus Rescues You
Sin does not stop God from loving you. Because of God’s great love, He became a human being in Jesus Christ and gave His life for you. At the cross, Jesus took your place and paid the penalty of death that you deserve for your sins.
Jesus died, but He rose to life again. Jesus offers you peace with God and a personal relationship with Him. Through faith in Jesus, you can experience God’s love daily, discover your purpose and have eternal life after death.
1 Peter 3:18, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Romans 5:8
Will You Trust Jesus?
You can place your trust in Jesus by faith through prayer.
Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not concerned with your words as much as He is with the attitude of your heart. Here’s a suggested prayer:
Dear God, thank you for loving me and wanting the best for my life. I have lived my life for myself and done things my way, and I am truly sorry.
Jesus, I believe that you are God and have forgiven all my sins by dying and coming back to life again for me. I trust You and ask You to be Lord of my life. I surrender my life to You. You are my God, my Savior and my Lord. Let me experience Your love and Your good plans for my life!. Amen.
24/25 theme
As a coach or athlete, it can feel as if the demands never stop. The training, practicing, planning and strategizing keep you hustling and operating at a pace that is difficult to thrive in. Although these things, in the right measure, are necessary to compete at a high level, the pace is not always sustainable. How do you handle the overwhelming demands of a "24/7" sports culture? There's no time to waste, right? Someone is always working harder, training longer, spending more hours watching game film, and prepping for the next game, race, meet or competition.
The reality is that your life doesn't have to be overrun by the pressures to keep up and prove your worth. The pressures and stakes may always be high, but how you respond doesn't have to remain unchanged. The 24/7 "with God" life is available — you just have to slow down long enough to receive what He's ready to give you.
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
~Romans 15:13
When Christ resets my perspective, I'm free in Him.
Through Christ, I have a new identity and purpose in Him.
God refuels me with a joy and hope that overflow into every aspect of my life.
I am ready to go and make disciples out of the overflow of Christ in me.
