Equipping students to reach their God-given potential
Participation in athletics at Cornerstone is a unique opportunity and privilege to glorify the name of Jesus Christ on the fields of play. The primary purpose of athletics at CCA is to allow student-athletes to grow in their relationship with Christ. This happens through the discipline taught through practices and games as well as the concept of teamwork required to have a successful program.
The Athletic Department strives to be successful in all sports, but not at the expense of our Christian testimony. All the coaching staff members have a personal relationship with Christ and are involved in a local church whose fundamental beliefs are in agreement with the Statement of Faith of this school. Coaches will take time throughout the season and off-season to disciple the athletes on their teams to grow in their relationships with Christ.
The Athletic Department strives to enhance and support the overall mission of CCA. The mission of Cornerstone Christian Academy is to equip students to reach their God-given potential. A Christian worldview foundation is taught as the building blocks of academics, athletics, fine arts, and technology. The Athletic Department and our coaches desire that you as a parent and student will also partner with us to have meaningful and successful athletic programs that Glorify Christ on and off the field at CCA.
