Excellence Today, Faith for Eternity

For the Glory of God

As Heartland Lutheran High School students participate in athletics, we must make sure as staff, student athletes, and parents that we do everything we can to imitate Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:1-11). This is extremely important to the student and parent as we look to develop our athletic skills to compete, but more importantly as we work toward the development of strong Christian men and women who understand that while we are in this world, we are called to be a part of it, not of it, and we are called to a higher purpose (1 Peter 2:9-12, John 15:19, 1 John 2:15-17). Without exception, the primary expectation for all of Heartland Lutheran High School athletics is in everything you do, do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:17).

Philosophy

1

Promote Jesus Christ in all that we do and strive to perform only for His glory.

2

Create an atmosphere of excellence, high expectations, and success.

3

Be a source of school pride and outreach for Heartland Lutheran High School.

Goal

To achieve excellence by every coach, athlete, and participant pursuing their God-given potential while being conformed to the image of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Motivation

To compete for excellence and hold each other to the highest standards by the love of God perfectly displayed through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Success

Achieving excellence for the glory of God by each coach, athlete, and participant pursuing whole heartedly their God-given potential and strengthening our bond as Christians by conforming further to the image of Jesus Christ.
