Sport Ministry


Why Sport?

"Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else can do. It speaks to people in a language they understand."   

 Nelson Mandela 

Sport is Huge

45% of adults & 87% of young people are playing sport regularly; 106,000 sport clubs in England (over 900 in Notts) with 10 million members.

Sport is Powerful

It breaks through barriers of race, economics, politics and religion. It is has an almost tribal to bond people together.

Sport is Growing

The government pumps 100’s of 1000’s of £££’s into sport, with a goal that by 2020, 70% of adults will be playing sport every week.

 

The church’s biggest problem is that under 35’s are leaving in masses. Where are they? Playing sports!

 

The Basics

Pray for your teammates / colleagues in sport

Play in a way that honours God (on & off the field)

Say something of the God you believe in

 

If you're a Christian involved in sports, we'd like to hear from you...

Make sport your mission!
