Spiritual Growth is one of our core values in Genesis. The leadership in the organization asked, “What is the most important thing we want a Genesis athlete to know when they graduate?”  Paul provides an answer to this question in scripture.

​

Paul shares with us in 1 Peter 3:15, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”  As a Christian organization, we believe it is most important to know the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be able to share this hope with others.

​

Several years ago, Genesis created the Gospel Award, which can be earned by any high school athlete.  We use Billy Graham ministry’s “Steps to Peace with God” as a model for understanding the Gospel and sharing it with others.
