As part of the Art Track we come alongside you to help you understand God's role in your creative process and help you grow in your artistic abilities.

Our goal is to use the shared loved of sports to create community, overcome barriers, build healthy relationships, enjoy creation, and make Jesus known. We will explore topics such as good sportsmanship, creating culture, and championing others. We will also be joining some local sports clubs in practicing volleyball, soccer and rugby. We will hear from other Christians in the sphere of sports and have opportunities to share and grow together. Students will also be able to join a local gym (optional).
