AROMA's vision is to enrich the Messiah athletic experience-- making it the best place in the country to be a college athlete. We believe the pathway to this is in aligning our purpose in life with our purpose in sport-glorifying God. AROMA is joining forces to accomplish the Athletic Department's two primary goals - Pursuing Athletic Excellence, and Developing Christian Character. We believe that by providing student-athletes with opportunities to participate in the Kingdom of God through sport, there is a shift in paradigm of the true purpose of sports. For the first time, many student athletes realize they can use their gifting in athletics to spread the Gospel. Student athletes are no longer placing their identity in their performance on the field, but in their identity in Christ. We believe that students who know their true identity, are empowered to pursue athletic excellence from their Christian character. As this becomes the new normal on our campus, we believe it creates 'A Revolution of Missional Athletes'.
