What is the mission of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA)?

The mission of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) is centered around supporting intercollegiate athletic competition from a Christian perspective. This integrates the values of faith and athletics, promoting not just competition, but also the development of student-athletes in a manner that aligns with Christian principles. The NCCAA seeks to create an environment where athletics can flourish within the framework of a Christian worldview, emphasizing character, discipline, and service.

By prioritizing a Christian perspective in sports, the organization fosters a unique community among member institutions that share similar values and beliefs. This approach differentiates the NCCAA from other athletic associations which may focus solely on competition or academic outcomes, highlighting the holistic development of student-athletes—mentally, physically, and spiritually. This aligns with the values of many institutions that participate in the NCCAA, where faith and sportsmanship go hand in hand.
