How it Works
Sports is one of the greatest outreach tools in our culture today. Most churches though are unable to harness this valuable resource because they do not have the staff or the time to embrace it. At the same time, there are members of their church who love sports and would be thrilled to find a way to combine their love of sports and their devotion to the Lord in a form of service. We have a solution!
Outreach Sports' mission is to Share the Good News of Jesus Christ through Sports! We aim to do this by by equipping and training local churches on how they can have effective sports ministries at their church with volunteers. We train church volunteers on how to start and organize a sports ministry, cast vision, promote events, and then implement an effective sports ministry at their church. This includes helping them host well run, ministry-centered leagues, tournaments, and events so that they in turn can mobilize their members to outreach, fellowship, and disciple through sports.
Please see the video and diagram below for more details about how we aim to accomplish this mission. You can contact us with questions or schedule a free consultation on how you can start up or strengthen the sports ministry at your church.

A monthly meeting between “coaches”, as described above, forming a coalition of churches that work together towards a common goal: to utilize sports tournaments and events for church outreach and fellowship. At these meetings, leadership and discipleship training take place. The coach is prepared to build and lead a team, and oversee a sports ministry in their church.

Tournaments and events are structured so that maximum ministry impact can be made throughout the day. Some of these efforts include prayer prior to each game, a short devotional at mid-day, down-time between games for teams to build relationships among their members, and an invitation to their coaches’ church on Sunday. In an effort to increase the outreach to fans, all fan names are collected and prize drawings are held at the time of the devotional.

All willing event participants will receive a quarterly newsletter containing Upcoming Events and Devotional content presented through sport-related stories.
