The mission of Blue Ridge Christian Athletics is to provide an excellent sports program allowing and encouraging our student athletes to develop their God-given abilities. We want our student athletes to honor and glorify God in all that they do (I Corinthians 10:31), including athletics.

 

Sports as Worship

Sports as worship is a transformative approach to athletics. We recognize that God is the author and giver of all things and that we receive our talents and identity from Him. This idea is integrated through our entire athletic program. Through team devotions, team building activities, and the memorization of The Truth (shown below), all of our teams are equipped with the foundation to live out their faith on and off the field.

The Truth
You are free to bring all of your 
heart, soul, mind and strength to 
whatever you are doing for the 
honor and glory of God.
It’s not about you. It’s not about the activity. 
It’s not even about being perfect. 
It’s about honoring God.
You are free to succeed.
You are not defined by what 
happens to you or what you do.
You are defined as a child of God.
You are prepared for this.
