Coach Andrea Cruz

I am from Houston, Texas. My favorite scripture is Romans 8:18. I have played soccer for 11 years, I played for Paul Quinn college and a semi-professional team for UWS League. I accepted Christ at 7 years old and have been a follower of Christ since. This season I am looking forward to developing servant leaders in Christ through soccer. Also, witnessing the personal and spiritual growth of the players. 

Coach Angelo Chavez

I’m originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been a follower of Christ since the age of 16. My favorite scripture is Ephesians 2:8-9. I have played sports my whole life and actually played football at a collegiate level. I understand what sports can do and teach as far as development goes. I have experience coaching and working with kids, and really love the idea of self-development even at an early age. I look forward to seeing the kids develop proper characteristics of an athlete who follows Christ! 

Coach Stephen Murihia

I was born in Kenya and grew up in Atlanta GA. My favorite scripture is 1 John 4:19. I have played soccer for 7 years and coached for 4 years. I have been a follower of Christ since the age of 15. I look forward to having fun and honoring God by striving for excellence. 

Coach Nia Parker

I am from Carrollton, Texas. My favorite scripture is 1 Corinthians 13:7 “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” I started playing soccer in the 5th grade and ended in 2018 after playing for SMU’s Women’s club team and intramural sports. I have been a follower of Christ all of my life; however, in the 7th grade I chose to get baptized and take initiative to pursue Christ on my own. This season I am looking forward to assisting players in developing new skills, a love for the game of soccer, and creating an environment that incites learning, character development and fun!

Coach Daniel Gabriel

 I am from London, United Kingdom. My favorite scripture is Psalm 23:1. I have played football for 11 years, playing for Kent League, National League, and UPSL. I have been a Christ follower all of my life from an early age. I remember how important it was for me to have great football mentors and coaches when I started playing football. So I want to do the same for the players looking to play football on a competitive level. This season I am looking forward to developing players’ relationship with Christ, their football skills, and their passion for the game. I believe that having a good and passionate football coach can uplift a player’s outlook and attitude on life, Walk with Christ, personal well-being and their studies.

Coach Jordan Hill

 I am from Frisco, Tx. My favorite scripture is 2 Timothy 1:7. I have played soccer for 18 years including collegiate soccer at Texas A&M University. I have been a Christ follower all of my life from an early age. This season I am looking forward to being able to give back to the kids with the knowledge of soccer and connecting it with scripture!
