The purpose of the Athletics Department is to offer ways in which all Providence students can participate in athletics as part of their education. God calls us to be faithful servants in extending his kingdom in all areas of life, and this includes athletics and the care of our bodies.

The Department of Athletics at PCC provides one of the components of the active, living relationship with Christ that we are called to have. Opportunities for this include the physical fitness courses in the CORE curriculum, athletic clubs, intramural sports, participation in community sports leagues, and the development of a competitive intercollegiate athletics program.
