Building Faith Through Sport
If your church is ready to connect with families in your community, sports ministry offers a natural and welcoming starting point. Scripture Union comes alongside you, using sport to share the gospel and support ongoing discipleship.
Sport creates natural spaces for relationships, belonging, and shared experience.
Sport is a natural point of connection for children, churches, and their communities. Sports ministry uses that shared interest as a bridge, creating welcoming spaces where relationships form and children can connect with Jesus and His Story.
With easy-to-use resources, your church can run a sports camp or weekly discipleship sports club that is relational, fun, and rooted in Jesus.
Volunteer training, ready-to-use resources, and ongoing support are provided by Scripture Union Canada, so your leaders can focus on connecting with children and families.
