Sports/Camps/Retreats

 

We realize that sports play a vital role in the lives of kids, students and adults.  At Southside, we want to offer our church family the opportunity to play on sports teams in the community that will strive to be distinctively different than most teams.

Some of the distinctive that we will strive for include:
            · Positive Atmosphere:   Too often sports are intense and too serious for anyone to have fun.  We want our teams to be competitive, but not at the cost of great sportsmanship.

· TEAM Centered: We all know there is no I in team, but we forget that we need to be intentional about using all the resources of our team.  Every week, everyone at the game will be able to participate in the game.

· CHRIST Focused:  How does that work? Quite simply, our actions.  If Christ is the center of our life, then our actions must reflect Him in all areas of our lives, including Sports!  That means,our attitudes, what we say to the other team and to the umpires.  We want our teams to be a  positive influence on the teams, umpires and families who will be watching us compete.

CAMPS AND RETREATS:
 "Nothing compares to getting away from the 'business' of life, getting alone with God, and listening to what He has to say."
