Sports
Get connected by joining one of the many dynamic sports that Cottonwood Creek has to offer!
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24
Athletics are fun! Whether you are 5 or 65, there is something about competition that draws us in and gets the blood pumping pretty quickly through our bodies. But it’s not all just fun and games. There is also a lot of external research that links athletics and positive outcomes in our youth, including building higher self-esteem, teaching self-discipline, avoiding alcohol/drugs and setting/accomplishing goals among many others.
Our mission is not just to create another sports organization, we want to do it the right way – taking the positive virtues of athletics and putting them in the context of a Christian worldview. 1 Timothy 4:8 says it this way: “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” In short, we want the best of both worlds!
