Relationships are a key tool to help you reach your community!

It is why we believe in the power of sports. A ministry touchpoint is a meaningful reach into the lives of families. Simply put, ministry touchpoints are when opportunities are created for your church to put the Gospel on display and create real relationships – not just count the numbers! Put one of your current ministry outreach opportunities to the test and see how many lives you are impacting.
