I Corinthians 10:31 is the key verse and prevailing thought of BBCS athletics…”Whether, therefore, ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Berean Baptist Christian School maintains an active inter-scholastic sports program for all interested students who meet eligibility requirements. The Kingsmen compete in the Northern Illinois Christian Athletic Conference, which is made up of several top-quality Christian schools in the Chicagoland and Rockford area. We are a member of the Illinois Association of Christian Schools and are an IHSA approved school. Girls compete in volleyball and basketball. Boys compete in soccer, basketball, and baseball.
The goals of our athletic program include the following:
- developing the student’s mind, body and spirit
- developing Christian character
- building school spirit
- honoring God through the area of athletics
We believe it is a privilege for students to participate in athletics; we strive for a performance which glorifies God both on and off the field. Our ultimate goal, however, is that we compete for Him so others will see Christ in us.
Berean Baptist Christian School was founded in 1977 by Dr. Melvin Swanson, then Senior Pastor of the Berean Baptist Church. In an age dominated by humanistic philosophies, it is vital to recognize that a Christian school must not be based on anything other than Jesus Christ and His teachings. This philosophy determines the curriculum and procedures to be followed; therefore, the product to produce students that love the Lord and are prepared to serve Him.
