In support of the school’s mission to train students through instruction and example to love God and His Word, the Athletics Department at Suburban Christian School exists to pursue athletics in a way that is distinctively Christian. Therefore, our mission is to provide a Christ-centered place for a competitive program with a comprehensive purpose.
Christ-Centered Place: Suburban is first and foremost a Christian school, and the goal of the Athletics Department is to develop student-athletes who know Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:8) and live like Him (Ephesians 5:1-2). Sports can reveal and build character, and we desire to use this avenue to build up the character and faith of our student-athletes (2 Peter 1:5-8; Jude 1:20).
Competitive Program: Ecclesiastes 9:10 and Colossians 3:23-24 commands Christians to give God their best effort in whatever they do, and that command extends to what is done on the field/court. SCS coaches teach student-athletes to train and play with excellence. This level of excellence involves winning games but also includes giving 100% effort for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Comprehensive Purpose: Luke 2:52 outlines the complete growth of Jesus Christ, and it is our mission to train the entire student-athlete: mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Ideally, graduated student-athletes should maintain sound minds and academic work (2 Timothy 1:7), steward their physical existences (1 Corinthians 9:27), respect everyone around them (Matthew 7:12), and live their lives in a manner that pleases God (Psalm 19:14).
SCS is a member of the IACS and participates in the IACS state tournament for varsity basketball, soccer, and volleyball.
SCS is a member of the Central Indiana Christian Conference (CICC) and competes with other Christian schools of like faith within the conference for a majority of its athletic events.
