Mascots and teamwork




Each year the collegian members may vote on a new mascot – that gives each season a “fresh start”. One year Phi Beta was the Pirates. Then next year they chose to be the Warriors. On the third year they were the Knights.




The teens like to have the choice of a mascot each “season,” but it is important to remember that the team name (Zeta Chi, Omega Rho) and its colors will always stay the same. Each week the collegian teams come into the youth meeting and have a time of competition. The competition runs throughout the school year or in some cases from August until Christmas.




Teams will compete in anything from Bible memory to scavenger hunts to Capture the Flag. And remember, they plan the strategies and assignments. We're helping the teens build reasoning skills and teamwork qualities.




Psalm 133 states the pleasantness of brethren to have unity – that is an important part of the Doulos Program. Kinetic teamwork. Kinetic leadership. Don't talk about it – exercise it.
