Is this really a serious training group, or a group of Jesus freaks?
I've heard the term "Jesus freak" used by many people, and typically it's because someone has been overwhelmed by someone else sharing their beliefs in Christ. Team in Faith is serious about both physical training and our Christian faith. Our training sessions are not sermons, but a short message/prayer will begin each one. You will not be left out no matter what your beliefs are. We simply hope to remind and inspire our community through the words of God.
Our goal is to share the good news of Christ with all athletes, in ways that make you comfortable. So when you are ready, just ask one of the Team in Faith coaches..."what is this whole "God thing" about?"
