As athletes and coaches, we are all competitors. We compete every day that we walk on to the field, court, or arena floor. However, at C&C, we believe that we are called to something bigger than just the x’s and o’s of our sport. We are called to win, not only on the field as a team, but on God’s team as well. God’s love is for EVERYONE. God created a kingdom, not a castle. It’s time to let EVERYONE in on His love, His grace, and His intentional pursuit of our hearts and our souls.
