Why We Play:
Glorifying God Through Sport
We believe the ability to play sport is a gift from God, meant to be enjoyed and used for His glory. Many Christian athletes withdraw from sports due to misunderstandings about faith and sport, or simply from life’s daily pressures. But what if staying in our sports communities and worshipping Jesus through our athletic pursuits is exactly where God wants us to be? This website exists to equip Christian sportspeople to thrive in their athletic environments, impacting those around them for Christ. We’re grateful to partner with Christians in Sport, who share this vision of integrating faith and sport.
We emphasise that we are “born to play”, reflecting on how God created us in His image, the ways sin has impacted our gifts and communities, and how God, through Christ, is restoring all things. For those who dedicate significant time to training and competing, we want to help you live out your discipleship in the world of sport. Join us in serving the world of sport and living out your faith on the field, court or track.
Winning Through Faith
