Interscholastic Programs Offered by SRCS

Core Values and Athletic Philosophy

The Athletic Program ... assumes a biblical view of the physical word.  In other worlds, all that God created is good, especially the crown of his creation -- us.  From the entry developmental levels to the intensively competitive levels, athletics are an expression of God's image, His glory in us.  We are fallen, though, and because our hearts are polluted with sin, we pervert athletic endeavors with the pursuit of vain glory and the praise of man.  Yet the scope of God's redemption in Christ is intended to reach the court, the field, and the locker room.  Through the special revelation of the gospel revealed in the Word, we pursue a new way of living by grace rather than shame, fear, or performance.  Our minds are being renewed to pursue the glory of God rather than our own.  Finally, through the insights in general revelation, the program seeks to employ established and emerging principles and knowledge of coaching, training, and administration.  In so doing , not only have we come under the reign and rule of Christ, but we're also extending his reign and rule in the world.
