About Us

Mission Statement:
The goal of Battle Creek Athletics is to show Christ’s character to our entire community while providing students who attend Battle Creek Academy the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics that foster an environment of joyful leadership, inspiring each participant to mature mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, while instilling in each participant the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and strength of character.

Whatever you are doing, put your whole heart into it, as if you were doing it for the Lord and not for men, knowing that there is a Master who will give you your heritage as a reward for your service.
— Col 3:23, NEB
