The Five
Five established Christian football programs, united by faith and forged through years of cross-state competition.
Christ Prep Patriots football exists to bring Christ-honoring discipleship to young men, using football as the teaching vehicle. Based in the Kansas City metro, Christ Prep draws student-athletes from homeschool families and Christian schools across the region, and competes as a KSHSAA affiliate against public and private schools in Kansas and Missouri.
The Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschools (NOAH) is Tulsa's premier homeschool athletic organization. Founded in 1998 when seventeen families came together, NOAH has grown into a multi-sport powerhouse offering football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, cheer and more.
The OKC Patriots have been Oklahoma City's premier homeschool football program since 2002. As a faith-based organization, the Patriots prioritize values, mentorship, and camaraderie alongside athletic excellence, building character and leadership from fifth grade through varsity.
Lighthouse Christian Athletics is Southwest Missouri's premier homeschool athletics organization. The football program was founded in 2006 and has grown from 14 players in 8-man football into one of the most decorated homeschool football programs in the nation.
St. Mary's Academy is a traditional Catholic school in St. Marys, Kansas. Unlike the other GPC members, St. Mary's is a brick-and-mortar private school rather than a homeschool organization, making the conference a unique blend of both educational models united by Christian faith and competitive athletics.
