Christy Mitchell, CVCA Assistant Athletic Director
"I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join the CVCA Athletic Office staff! For nearly 30 years, God has used sports as an opportunity for ministry in my life, teaching me while also allowing me to serve athletes and coaches from youth sports through the collegiate level. While I love competition and the lessons that come through athletics, my greatest passion has always been helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus, and getting to do both together as a career is an absolute gift! I love the vision and mission of CVCA, and serving through the athletic department alongside the staff is an incredible opportunity. It is a privilege to use sports as a tool for discipleship, and I am excited to see how God will work through the relationships and opportunities ahead at CVCA! GO ROYALS!"

Jason Spodnik, CVCA President
"With numerous highly competitive high school and middle school programs, bringing in someone with Christy's experience and heart is a game-changer. While her years of college coaching experience give her incredible athletic credibility, it is her profound passion for disciple-making that makes her a difference-maker for our community. Christy understands that a locker room is a mission field and a practice is an opportunity for spiritual formation. She is uniquely equipped to mentor our female coaches and walk alongside our young women, teaching them to hold fast to their identity in Christ both on and off the competitive stage."
