Why Choose Messiah Basketball
Mission Statement: The program will develop you in all areas of your life. This includes spiritual development, academic growth and trajectory, social skills and athletic skills. The program will enhance God’s Kingdom through basketball. We will have a positive impact on this campus, in our immediate community and abroad.
Core Values:
Members will be accountable to the agreements and commitments of the MWB program.
Members will have understanding and live the concept of servant leadership.
Members will pursue excellence in all activities.
Members will understand that we believe in unconditional love, but there will be conditional membership. Are there members in this squad that you would not want with you in a real battle. If lacking members are identified, we need to help them or not have them with us.
Members will not have a sense of entitlement, we will take care of ourselves. We will, “Sweep the Sheds.”
Members will allow the coaching staff to change them on and off the court. This development directly corresponds with our mission statement.
