Jubilee
Athletic Association
Begun
in 1991, Jubilee Athletic Association was an invention
born out of necessity, but quickly developed into a
purposeful ministry. In the first few years of this
process, a vision for a youth "program" came
into focus. This vision was simple and clear, if not
somewhat radical. It went like this, "Instead of
developing activities and programs within the church and
then trying to get the kids to attend, why not find
something beneficial that the kids are already doing and
enjoying and do it with them?" Spending time
interacting with the kids has always been the focus of
the athletic association, even when the kids are
sometimes young (and not so young) adults. It is our
sincere belief that the time spent with them, using
sports as a training tool, can not only enrich their
lives now, but teach them valuable lessons and give them
experiences that they can draw on for the rest of their
lives.
It is also founded on the concept, "What you owe to
those who came before you, you pay to those who
came after you." You see, many of us who volunteer
our time and resources to work with the kids of our
community (and surrounding areas) remember someone in
our lives who unselfishly gave of themselves to
contribute to our joy, happiness, learning experiences,
and memories. They made a difference in who and what we
are, and we owe a debt to them to do the same for those
coming up.
It may seem a little old fashioned in our
present sports scene, but it still works quite well.

Jubilee Athletic Assoc. is a division of Jubilee Ministry, but the Bullets
Soccer Club is
a civic organization, operated for
the well being and enhancement of the citizens of the
community. It is our way of giving back to others for
what has been so richly bestowed on us. As a 501c(3)
organization we found the paperwork in place, the
oversight available, and the motivation
sincere, so here
we are!
