Patriots athletics

Competing for Christ’s glory.

At WCA, athletics are about more than physical and social enjoyment. We use athletics to cultivate Christian young people in competition, cooperation, and submission to authority.

Our purpose

“I want Christ to be glorified in my life.”

Athletic competition is a testing ground where we expect our athletes to show the kind of character found in our homes, churches, and Christian school. In every sport, our coaches seek to instill godly character traits through the athletic experience.

That should be the prevailing attitude of everyone in the WCA sports program. Winning is important, and we teach our athletes to become winners, but more importantly, athletics should support the spiritual and academic goals of Wilmington Christian Academy.
