Due West, SC – The National Christian College Athletic Association announced Thursday morning that the organization had approved Erskine College for membership in the organization. Erskine will maintain its affiliation as a NCAA Division II member but will be dually affiliated with the NCCAA.
 
The NCCAA is a Christian-based organization that functions as a national and international agency for the promotion of outreach and ministry, and for the maintenance, enhancement, and promotion of intercollegiate athletic competition with a Christian perspective.  
 
Erskine will join Emmanuel and Southern Wesleyan as duel members of the NCCAA and Conference Carolinas. 
 
Director of Athletics Mark Peeler stated, "Being a member in an organization of schools with Christ-centered missions is a fit we have long hoped for. Aligning ourselves with the NCCAA brings value to our mission because of the high-level competitiveness within the organization and the desire to honor Christ in everything we do. We are excited about the opportunity to become affiliated with the NCCAA and its member institutions."
