The purpose of the Hopewell Recreation Ministry is to assist
the athletes in growing physically, mentally and spiritually through athletic
competition.
We believe athletics can be a valuable tool in leading people to
follow Christ by emphasizing spiritual teaching and coaching, Christ-like
sportsmanship, and glorifying God over self.
All
Scripture is God-breathed and is
useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)
·
Similarly, anyone who competes as an
athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to
the rules. (2 Timothy 2:5)
·
Not to us, Lord, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and
faithfulness. (Psalm 115:1)
