Our Mission, Vision & Values
At M.A.D. House, our mission is to give young people a basketball and Bible experience fostering spiritual growth, personal responsibility and a path to purpose and meaning while playing a game they love.
History of M.A.D.
M.A.D. Ministries began in the 1980s in Phoenix, Arizona when a law student with a passion for God and basketball took his basketball and his Bible to the local projects and started making friends. Over time, this developed into a basketball league. M.A.D. House went on to take young men to South America, New York City, Africa and the Middle East.
One thing is a constant in M.A.D. House; There is no basketball without Bible.
