CrossFit SBTS
CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program focused on performing “functional movements that are constantly varied at high intensity.” The CrossFit program is designed to elicit as broad an adaptation response as possible.
Learn MoreOur mission at CrossFit SBTS is to build capacity to take the gospel to the nations and glorify God by being good stewards of the body that he has given us. We place a high priority on cultivating a God-honoring environment through modest apparel, appropriate music, and attitudes of humility. Whether you are a stay at home mom, a seminarian, or an athlete, at CrossFit SBTS you will be welcomed and challenged by your coaches and teammates. At the end of every class the coach will read the weekly bible verse, take prayer requests, and pray over the class.
Intramural Sports
In addition to mind and soul, keeping one’s body healthy is an important goal for the seminary student. If you enjoy sports, intramurals are a great opportunity to stay in shape.
If you are a student, student spouse, community member, SBTS/Boyce employee, or alumnus you are welcome to participate.
