Our goal is to defeat the “Win-at-all-Cost Mentality” by redefining a winner, instructing our athletes how to honor the game, and developing a concept of serving others over self.  

 

Our Mission

The mission of Memphis Gridiron Ministries (MGM) is to utilize the unique environment of youth football to share and model the gospel of Christ to grade school boys and to help build selfless character in a challenging environment.

“We believe it is imperative that we first and foremost honor God in our pursuit of athletics, and make it our goal to impact our boys’ lives in a positive manner - to create a love of the game of football and a desire to play the game with honor, integrity and passion. ”
— Wade West, Chairman
