Since 2011, Churches have participated in the SoFlo Adventist Olympic Games, sending athletes to represent in several disciplines, including Track & Field, Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer. The journey has proven to be a long, hard but exciting one as SoFlo has grown and has become respected as one of the top Adventist Athletics Games. SoFlo will incorporate local, regional and international Adventist sporting news and events. In addition to scores and standings, the website will also carry investigative pieces, regular features and motivational hard-hitting stories.
