About
It’s More Than Just Basketball (Phil. 4:13)
- Founded in 2025 and established in Waterville, Maine, the Central Maine Church Basketball League (CMCBL) serves as a beacon for churches across Central Maine, offering a structured environment for basketball enthusiasts of all generations! It's more than just a game—it’s a ministry rooted in Faith, Fellowship, and Community (Rom. 12:4-5).
- Our league emphasizes sportsmanship, teamwork, and community engagement, aligning with our core values of Faith, Fellowship, Integrity, and Leadership.
- Our league provides a space where athletes can compete in a Christ-centered environment, build lasting relationships, and grow in character both on and off the court.
- Our mission will always be to glorify Christ in all we do through basketball by promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, and spiritual growth (Phil. 4:13). Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, there’s a place for you in this league where competition meets compassion, and faith meets the hardwood!
- As a faith-based non-profit, we believe sports can serve as a powerful tool for ministry, mentorship, and personal growth.
Core Values
- Faith: Christ is the center of everything we do—on and off the court (Phil. 4:13)
- Fellowship: We encourage strong relationships between churches, teams, and communities. (Heb. 10:24-25)
- Integrity: We strive to uphold honesty, sportsmanship, and respect in every game. (Titus 2:7)
- Leadership: Through basketball, we strive to mentor youth and adults to be leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
This league is not just about winning games—it’s about winning hearts, nurturing character, and advancing the Kingdom through teamwork and testimony.
Join us as we build stronger churches, deeper friendships, and a legacy of love through the game we all enjoy.
