#MACinMotion
Athletic activities provide discipline, perseverance, and discipleship for students. They are a core of community and growth. We have 40 athletic teams and hundreds of students that will benefit greatly from the MAC. In addition to providing a variety of multipurpose amenities, this facility will reduce the need for parents to drive athletes to rented gym spaces for the various programs we offer. Go, Knights!   #MACinMotion
