Our mission at Athletes Chasing Greatness is to challenge athletes and coaches to chase Jesus and their unique purpose with passion and to invite others to join in this pursuit.

What we do.

We encourage athletes and coaches to integrate their faith with their sport by prioritizing the pursuit of Jesus and one's unique purpose as central to the athletic journey and, ultimately, achieving greatness.

ACG encourages individuals to approach their athletic pursuits with a more profound sense of meaning and purpose, beyond just the physical and competitive aspects of the sport. By integrating faith and values into athletic pursuits, they will be better equipped to handle the challenges and pressures that come with their sport and in life, while also being positive role models for others in their communities.

  • ACG challenges athletes and coaches to pursue Jesus by helping them see the importance of integrating their faith with their athletic pursuits and by providing them with the resources, support, and community they need to do so.

    We strive to be a community of support to help drive connection with one another and share their faith journeys, providing a space where they can find encouragement, accountability, and prayer support.

  • ACG challenges athletes and coaches to invite and influence others to follow Christ by providing them with the tools, resources, and support they need to share their faith in a meaningful and impactful way. By modeling Christ-like behavior and sharing their faith, athletes, and coaches may positively impact those around them, leading others to pursue Jesus and live out their unique purpose.

Pursue Jesus

We provide opportunities for athletes and coaches to explore and deepen their faith through mission experiences, Bible studies, prayer groups, and other events that allow athletes and coaches to connect with one another and deepen their understanding of the Christian faith.

We encourage athletes and coaches to live out their faith on and off the field by integrating their faith into their daily lives and athletic pursuits by setting a positive example, serving others, and sharing their faith.

We offer resources such as devotionals that help athletes and coaches grow in their faith and encourage them to pursue Jesus more deeply.
