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

are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
