Once every game day, the whole gym stops — every player, parent, sibling, coach, referee, and volunteer stands together on the court — and we open the Word. This page is where that teaching lives and grows.
Season kickoff. Why we're here: Jesus came so we could have life, and have it to the full. Every week this season builds toward a thriving life in Christ — on the court and everywhere else.
John 10:10
We glorify God with our basketball league. We love God, we love each other, and we glorify God in all we do. There's Glory in the Hoop.
1 Corinthians 10:31
The story of Jesus — His healing, parables, miracles, and resurrection. The Good News of who Jesus is and what He did for us. We study Him so we can learn how to become more like Jesus.
John 3:16
We are sinners and we will come up short. God's grace tells us this is OK and is a display of His goodness. We fall, and we get back up because of God's grace.
Ephesians 2:8
To be grateful we must understand what we have been given — His grace, His only Son. And as believers, it is our job to tell people about Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Perseverance, steadfastness, endurance. Competition teaches life lessons — we compete to win without putting excessive emphasis on the scoreboard. Winning for God and in life.
James 1:2-4
Kids are surprised every time. It isn't a wizard, a superhero, or a diary of a wimpy anything — the best-selling book in the history of the world is the Bible. It has outsold everything, every year, for centuries, and it's been hiding in plain sight on the shelf the whole time.
