The Ministry [Back to top]

Since 1966, the NCCAA has provided ministry and outreach to thousands of young men and women through intercollegiate athletic competition with a Christian perspective.  Athletics are used as a tool to impact and develop our young people into leaders of tomorrow.

As America's largest Christian intercollegiate athletic association, the NCCAA serves 103 Christian colleges and universities, sponsoring 21 national championships.  It also sponsors mission endeavors throughout the world, sharing the witness of Jesus Christ through athletics.

The NCCAA Pro-Am provides a large portion of the annual financial budget for NCCAA outreach.  This event has assisted over 4,200 student-athletes in their missions endeavors around the world.

The Purpose [Back to top]

For the 20th year the NCCAA Pro-Am will be conducted to help support the NCCAA in both the general operations area and in the support of student-athletes and coaches as they travel the nation and world in sports ministry.

The Pro-Am is also a time for its fellowship, spiritual renewal and, of course, great golf.  Andy Chrisman and Mark Harris will minister to all those attending by providing spiritual emphasis and fun through music and sport!

The Site & Directions [Back to top]

Mission Inn Resort is a golfer's paradise of 36 holes that is touched by history and blessed with natural beauty. Boasting rare tee to green elevations of 85 feet, towering forests and sparkling, spring-fed lakes, these spectacular courses are memorable no matter what the score.  Revered as one of Florida 's finest, El Campeón, "The Champion," was designed by Charles E. Clarke of Troon, Scotland. The course, which opened in 1926, is ranked in the top 10 of Florida’s 1,400+ courses.  Las Colinas, "The Hills," was designed by former PGA Tour Player Gary Koch. The course opened in 1992 to a nomination for "Best New Resort Course" by Golf Digest, giving it immediate recognition.  Traditional golf design and extraordinary gifts of nature only begin to define the golf experience at Mission Inn.
