As coaches, athletes, and parents participating in the ECHS Strikers, we will seek to glorify Christ in the following areas.
Our Motives: Our chief goal in everything that we do is to glorify Christ. (I Corinthians 10:31)
Our Unity: We will promote unity within our team, our club and our league. (I Corinthians 12:12)
