Sports & Adventure Ministry

Purpose Statement

To be a catalyst through sports to transform the Bay Area from a place of spiritual darkness to a global strategic teaching and discipleship center for the gospel of Jesus Christ by partnering with like-minded churches and community partners to produce r12 Christians... here, there and everywhere.

Why Sports Ministry? Because sports and recreation offer the church unique tools to accomplish the following tasks:

• A means of forming friendships and building relationships
• A means of promoting "body life" (internal church fellowship)
• Facilitates life-style and proclamational evangelism
• Creates a bridge to the lost in the community . . . even to the resistant
• A means of helping someone grow in his or her faith . . . a tool for discipleship within the sporting environment
• A door of service for those who are not involved in ministry to the body
• A means of "closing the back door" through small group discipleship and accountability
• A ministry servant to the other ministries of the church (Children, Youth, Adult, Singles, Seniors, etc.)
• A ministry that contributes to leadership training
• A means of building "stepping stones" from the field/gym to the worship center

Sports is culturally relevant and, therefore, a strategic way to introduce people to the church and to the person of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter if you are interested in sports; the key is to recognize that lost people are interested and that is where they congregate. Where would Jesus be?

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the Gospel of God's grace." Acts 20:24 (NIV)
