Athletics
ELCA is a member of the Georgia High Schools Association. The Chargers are in Class A, Region 5. ELCA Athletics is built upon the basis of Kingdom Athletics: Kingdom Athletics is the integration of a Kingdom Education philosophy into the area of athletics. We are assisting parents by using athletics as part of the life-long, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child to Christ, building a child up in Christ and equipping a child to serve Christ.
PURPOSE FOR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
To compliment and advance the schools mission.
Romans 15:5-6 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
GOALS FOR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
1. To pursue with excellence an athletic program that seeks to glorify God.
2. To develop highly competitive programs, first class facilities, and a championship mentality.
3. To develop a training system with the Youth/MS/JV programs that will prepare our students for
statewide varsity level competition.
4. To develop a training system beginning in the Lower School that will instruct our facility, staff,
parents, and students with our Kingdom Athletics philosophy.
5. To use athletics to share Jesus Christ with those who do not know him and to inspire other schools
to adopt Kingdom Athletics for themselves.
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
ELCA offers a full array of both men's and women's sports as we compete in Football, Softball, Spirit Cheer, Cross Country, Competition Cheer, Volleyball, Wrestling, Basketball, Golf, Baseball, Track, and Tennis. ELCA also offers several of these sports at the Middle School Level as well as have an established Youth Football, Cheer, Cross Country, Track and Wrestling Program.
We believe our facilities are second to none with a state of the art 7 Lane rubberized track that surrounds a recently resurfaced Football Field. Our Baseball Field is maintained as one of the best in the state of Georgia and we have several practice fields and a new Gym. Our programs are built in our massive weight room that has all of the needs for a quality weight room.
