Washington Bible College is a part of the Small Bible College Athletic Association and the Shenandoah and Chesapeake Conference.

WBC Athletic Department exists, as a part of the overall mission of Washington Bible College, to help facilitate the preparing of men and women for local and worldwide service to God and humanity. We seek to facilitate a program that equips student-athletes with a biblical worldview and prepares them for effective vocational service and lay ministry. We will emphasize biblical content and application, encourage academic excellence, promote intellectual and spiritual maturity, leadership development, and the ability to function as productive members of a multi-cultural society, using the tool of sport. 

See how the WBC Athletic Department encourages the philosophy to influence the lives of the student-athletes in sport and their spiritual life in five ways- Bringing Glory to God, Preparing for Ministry, Teaching, Training for Excellence, and Winning! 

Athletic Department Philosophy (48 KB)

Whatever your future ministry, you will not work in a vacuum. You will probably be a part of a team. Unlike theology, teamwork is difficult to learn in the classroom. On the court or on the field you will have an opportunity to interact with other believers and to work with teammates who may not always have the same approach that you do.

Sports permeate our society, and athletes have a great deal of influence on young people. It can be used as a tool for ministry - a non-threatening approach to those not yet ready to come to a church service. But to be effective witnesses, believers must compete with both skill and honor. 2 Timothy 2:5 says, "And also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." Fair and skillful play can influence others to hear what you have to say.
