Charlotte Eagles
The Charlotte Eagles are a part of Missionary Athletes International. We field a men's professional soccer team and a women's elite soccer team in the United Soccer Leagues. We train these players to be sports ministers through clinics, camps, school and church appearances and local community outreach via our Urban Eagles program.
Our mission is to communicate the message of Jesus Christ through the environment of soccer. We accomplish this by doing sports ministry, training sports ministers and deploying sports ministers as a resource to the body of Christ.
WE BELIEVE...
·The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and complete revelation of His Will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
·There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
·Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the Cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
·The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
· Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
· The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for the justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.
