Welcome to the Button Angels Competition Cheerleading website.  Thank you for your interest in Impact Cheerleading at Button Methodist Church.  Impact Cheerleading is a program that was designed by the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders for churches and Christian schools to use to minister to young people through cheerleading. 
Our program strives to minister to the cheerleaders and their families through weekly devotions at practice, community outreach projects, program-wide potluck socials and prayer time, mentorship relationship building, and other activities designed to connect us to each other and to Jesus Christ.  Our prayer is that we can meet needs, make personal connections, impact our community, teach cheerleading excellence, and show Jesus Christ to those around us through Impact Cheerleading. 
We hope you will join us and look forward to the many GREAT things in store for STARS Cheerleading! 
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions after reading the FAQ below.
