The human body, in its divine design, is capable of developing amazing abilities of all sorts, over time. No where, except in the human body can you see such a range of abilities - from linebackers to ballerinas. The body is an engineering marvel - our feet, our hands, the thumb! No material entity in God’s created world is more complex, more fascinating, more marvelous, more valuable than human life which God designed specifically to represent himself in his created world. We are fearfully and wonderfully made in order to point to God’s glory.
We easily overlook what a super power bodily movement is. We are living in a sedentary age and our modern world allows us to move our bodies less and less. Technology helps us to move as little as possible. The bible, however, is clear that we are to take good care of our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) but ,at the same time, warns against vanity (1 Samuel 16:7; Proverbs 31:30; 1 Peter 3:3-4). Our goal in exercise should not be to improve the quality of our bodies so that other people will notice and admire us. Rather, the goal of exercising should be to improve our physical health so we will possess more physical energy that we can devote to spiritual goals.

Stouffville Christian School’s athletics program provides a dynamic environment where competitiveness, teamwork, and self discipline are promoted. Our goal is to build Christ-like character and good sportsmanship which will become lifelong traits. We want each of our students to marvel at God’s design of the human body, to take good care of their body, to celebrate when their body can do amazing things, and offer their body back to God as an act of worship.
