A summer of sport

Faith on the move

This summer, communities are gathering around some of the biggest sporting moments of the year. But sport is about more than what happens on the pitch, court or track – it's about people, belonging and connection.

We believe God cares about every part of our lives, including how we use our bodies, build relationships and serve our communities. Sport creates opportunities to encourage others and to join in with what God is doing around and within us.

Whether you're playing, volunteering or supporting, discover how we can put faith into action and be the church without walls through resources, articles and stories to inspire intentional engagement with sport this summer.
