About us

Christians in Sport is a missionary organisation with a vision to see Christians in every sports club, representing Christ and building the Church.

Why?

Currently in the UK, 45% of adults and 87% of young people participate regularly in sportą, yet the Government has set an even more ambitious target - to introduce the equivalent of 100,000 new participants to sport every month until 2020˛. Meanwhile, recent research suggests that only around 8% of the population attend church in the UK. If the job of the Church is to "go and make disciples of all nations", sport is a pretty strategic place to start!

Over the last twenty five years Christians in Sport has pioneered a way of helping churches and Christians as they pray for sporting friends, honour God in the way they play and say something of the good news of Jesus Christ. More information on history.

In January 2004 we began implementing four priorities which will be foundational to the vision of seeing Christians in every sports club, representing Christ and building the Church, for the next five years:

1. Motivating Christians to represent Christ at their club
2. Supporting churches to prepare their sportspeople to represent Christ
3. Training leaders
4. Enabling the work through prayer, finance and operational support
