Interscholastic Athletics
The Living Grace Christian School Athletics Program supports the mission of the school in every way; namely, that the students are being raised up to be champions for God—servant leaders of godly character who advance the cause of Christ and make disciples of all nations. Our vision is to become champions for Christ, playing for an audience of One—champions in His eyes. The verse that embodies what we are seeking to accomplish is found in Colossians 3:23-24: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Our purpose is to receive the Lord’s reward. All Biblical values are true for all of life, including the athletic field.
Before the beginning of each season, the coach gives the parents and students the following: basic team information, the application form, game schedule, and the “Roadway to Victory.” The Roadway to Victory is a document that illustrates the following character-building qualities necessary to accomplish our mission of “each one of us individually and as a team achieving maximum growth in character, in teamwork, and in leadership”: Jesus Christ, faith, purpose, integrity, discipline, teamwork, leadership, courage, exertion, boldness, focus, steadiness, realness, wisdom, self-sacrifice, and maximum growth. These values of the athletics program are placed in the form of a torch, which is symbolic of that which an athlete carries on the “Roadway to Victory.”
We ask that parents and students support the teams by coming to the games and cheering on the players. If parents want to go to away games, they can travel in vehicles with the team or meet the team at the game location. Participation on the team is considered a privilege to be earned by the students, both by their personal character and by their academic performance.
To register for a team, the application form must be completed, signed, and returned to the coach along with the necessary player fee. Please pray that the athletics teams will be a tool used by the Lord in the lives of our young people to help them to become champions for the Lord who are growing in godly character. Also, please pray for God’s blessing and protection in all activities.
