and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play

unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom

in the Northeast and
around
the world.

innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
