Ministry Materials
Outreach is key! We come alongside you to supply weekly devotions, outreach ideas, Gospel presentation materials, collaboration with other ministry leaders, communication tools, and much more. We want to support you as you share the Gospel and build relationships.
Multiple Sports Options
Leagues are designed to include practice & gamedays for 6-12 weeks, based on the timeline you create. Sports leagues are a great way to engage your community & congregation over an extended period of time! Outside of a league experience - Camps, Clinics, and one day Connect events can further support your sports ministry.
