THE MOODY ARCHERS
STORY
Moody athletes have long been known as Archers
in reference to the iconic archway that stands as the gate into Moody Bible
Institute. The arch is not only a gateway into the school but also a way out into
the city of Chicago and the world beyond.
When students leave the halls of Moody to
enter the city, they leave a place of safety and academics to pursue
real-world outreach.
The arch is a symbol of the bravery of our
students and alumni. They do the work that God has called them to do, unafraid
to go beyond the arch to reach those who need to be reached.
This is precisely what it means to be an
Archer: to seek out the lost.
Our Mascot
Moody Athletics has a mascot that represents a
spirit of obedience and selfless outreach while also being serious, competitive
and worthy of respect.
That mascot is the sheepdog. He is the embodiment of our calling. He
is:

smart
�
vigilant
�
unwavering

courageous
�
and a finder of the
lost
He always puts others ahead of himself.
We are Archers, and Archie is our mascot.
