On the Pitch

Success on the field is a staple of the Lynchburg College women’s soccer team. But more important than success is family. This fall the team launched a weekly Life Group that focused on taking relationships deeper than just on the soccer field. It also served as an investigative platform to discover who Jesus Christ is, what He did for us, and how this changes our lives. The Life Group met every Sunday evening throughout the semester and was open to any member of the team wanting to take part. The overwhelming participation from the team, the desire to learn and grow, and the intimate friendships formed on a greater level were absolutely remarkable. Our team is not just a group of soccer players. They take it to a much more holistic level. They are a group of confidants, accountability partners, teachers, and family members.
