Statement of Purpose   National Christian College Athletic Association, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit association, was incorporated to provide a Christian-based organization that functions uniquely as a national and international agency for the promotion of outreach and ministry, and for the maintenance, enhancement, and promotion of intercollegiate athletic competition in a Christian perspective. The very existence of the NCCAA speaks to the need of a different game plan for college athletics in the midst of an era when the very foundations of our society are being eroded morally. The NCCAA wants to step into the gap and become a vehicle for implementing morality and purpose of life through athletics in cooperation with member institutions and their student-athletes. The NCCAA game plan is to assist colleges in producing winners in the "game of life". Its intent is to assist the colleges and coaches in producing a game plan that will influence the student-athlete immediately as well as for his/her entire life: a plan that will challenge the student-athlete through district and national competition; a plan that expects academic credibility; a plan of maximum development through assisting college coaches with leadership, programs, and materials; a plan that encourages a mature functioning body of Christians able to serve family, school, church, and society. The NCCAA is unique in its purpose, its constituency, and hopefully its outcome. It is not who wins the game on the athletic field that really counts, but rather who wins that all-important game being fought in the lives of our nation's youth. The NCCAA makes a difference in developing the leaders of tomorrow. The NCCAA game plan includes: dedicated and caring leadership, national competition, international outreach and ministry with athletic teams, discipleship programs and materials for student-athletes and coaches, and conferences on current key issues. We believe: Athletics are a means to an end, not the end in themselves. The process is as important as the performance. The person (student-athlete) is more important than the program. Statement of Faith   We believe that the Bible alone and the Bible in its entirety is the Word of God.   We believe in salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).   We believe there is one God, the creator and preserver of all things.   We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, our savior (John 1:1).  In Him divine and human natures were united in one person and He alone is our sole Redeemer.  Through no other source can we receive redemption.   We believe that at the end of the age the bodies of the dead shall be raised.  The righteous shall enter into full possession of eternal bliss in the presence of God, and the wicked shall be condemned to eternal death.   We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the true God.  He applies to man the work of Christ in salvation.   We believe in righteous living and good works as an evidence of salvation.
