College sports do not just consist of Big 10 Final Four Basketball brackets and Football bowls. Smaller colleges and universities also have robust athletic programs that are often more accessible to talented athletes.
Great Lakes Christian College provides collegiate sports with purpose and passion. Our mission is to prepare students to be effective servant-leaders in the church and the world, and we believe that athletics plays a huge part in that mission.
We believe that our highest calling is to be effective witnesses of the Kingdom of God, and that we can accomplish this by displaying the Kingdom on the field and the hardwood in our competitiveness, our athleticism, our passion, and in the love we show for the game and for our teammates, coaches, opponents, spectators, and officials.
Sports play a big part in the College experience. Whether you play for a formal college sponsored team or participate in recreational sports, it is a great opportunity for fellowship and character building. Athletics at Christian Colleges provide something that public universities don't--another way to worship and draw close to God.
