Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men...
St. Louis United is a Homeschool Soccer team that was formed to compete with local homeschool teams and/or private schools, to develop player’s skills, and build Christian character. Our goal is to show the Lord’s impact on the lives of our players, coaches, and families. We can and will strive to demonstrate that our number one calling is to Glorify God.
With that in mind – the soccer players and parents of players need to profess acceptance of the Gospel, demonstrate regeneration and sanctification, and reflect the fruits of the Spirit. Gal 5:22-26 |

1 Peter 4:10-11
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. |
