“To introduce children to Jesus Christ through sports”… it’s the SOULS, not the shoes.
Values
The Expectation of God-Moments
We believe that God is at work all around us. Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
The Life of Integrity
We believe that how we live is more important than what we say. Galatians 2:20 - 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.
The Discipline of Excellence
We believe in serving that exceeds expectations. Colossians 3:17 - 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.
The Priority of Children
We believe that Every Child Is A Winner. Matthew 18:14 - In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
