Sports Mission

Community Services

Raising the profile of sport as an arena for mission, worship and discipleship.

Nelson Mandela once said: 'Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way little else does. It speaks to people in a language they understand.'

As a church, we are continuing to raise the profile of sport as an arena for mission that will empower people as they connect their passion for Jesus with their love of sport, opening new doors and developing new relationships with all kinds of people in our communities.

We have the opportunity to serve and connect with every city, town and community through people's love of sport and play wherever we are: sports fields, churches, gymnasiums, recreation grounds, the work place and so much more!

The mantra and heartbeat of Sports Mission is to:

Share who Jesus is
Be a visible presence in people's lives
Be an expression of God’s love and compassion in every community called sport

We love sport, we love God, but really it’s about loving the people God has placed before us – loving God and loving others!

Our desire and passion is to equip, empower, educate, and encourage grassroots churches to:

Create a life of sustainable, community-centred and focused sporting mission
Dig deeper into mental health, well-being, and sport as an important feature of worship and discipleship
Go deeper and further with others through sport and exercise in their everyday lives
