I am super-excited to welcome you and your family to our web site for FFC Athletics! We have been truly blessed by God to offer a sports league to your children where they will not only grow in the love of the sport, but also in the love of Jesus Christ! It is our prayer that over the course of our ongoing basketballl & cheerleading season, that your child will develop new skills while strengthening their walk in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our goal to see every child achieve new heights, both spiritually and athletically..
So what is Upward? The mission statement of the Upward program is to introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports. We have four core values we work to instill in your children through this sports ministry:
- The Expectation of God’s Moments – We believe that God is at work all around us.
- The Life of Integrity – We believe that how we live is more important than what we say.
- The Discipline of Excellence – We believe in serving that exceeds expectations.
- The Priority of Children – We believe that EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER!
Upward stands for:
U – Uplifting our kids and the league in prayer
P – Presenting the Gospel and teaching Scripture
W – Wanting every child to know Jesus Christ
A – Actively develop leadership
R – Reinforcing Christ as a character role model for coaches and referees
D – Delivering a FUN AND EXCITING experience for every kid, coach, referee, or parent!
I look forward to getting to personally know you and your family during the course of our season. If you have any questions during the season or if there is any prayer needs you or your loved ones have, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
