Purpose and Philosophy of Athletics
The athletic program at Christian Fellowship School is an outgrowth of the academic program. Therefore, its overall purpose is to supplement and enhance the school’s objectives to develop a fully integrated person...one who is spiritually alive, intellectually alert, and physically disciplined. For Christian Fellowship School to be truly Christian, the principles of God’s word must permeate every area of the school. This is especially true of the athletic program because of the unique opportunity it affords to make a lasting impression upon young people. Both the shaping their character for the Lord and because it is a program of high visibility. While recognizing that winning is an important goal and that competitive sports produces an atmosphere of great intensity, that goal cannot be allowed to become so overriding that Biblical principals are violated or that the control of the Holy Spirit is not evidenced by students, spectators, or staff. To achieve this delicate balance, we must train our students, athletes in particular, to think about sports from the Christian perspective rather than man’s perspective. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5
