Are you looking for new and effective ways to build bridges into the community? Are you looking for ways to help people grow in their faith? Church Sports International can provide answers. We work alongside churches to assist you in developing effective programs that reach into your communities to reach out to those who may otherwise never step inside a church, and to help believers grow spiritually. Using the culturally relevant tools of sports and recreation, CSI’s objective is to train and mentor church leadership in creating and managing powerful outreach and discipleship. God is using sports and recreation to accomplish His purposes. CSI has been establishing programs in churches for over 16 years, and we can help you. Visit our consulting page for more information.

You can be trained while in your own room/office. CSI offers a four-course Sports Ministry training course that can be completed through the internet.

To those of you who are seeking an outstanding soccer coach from Brazil, CSI highly recommends Marcos Alves. Marcos has a website that can give you information about him and his professional skills. Marcos has also been trained in church-based Sports Ministry and can help your church understand how to do ministry through sports and recreation.

“I am so grateful to God for CSI and for the impact it has made on my life and ministry. I have found no other organization that is equipping the local church so practically and effectively in Sports Ministry.” Jonathan Detweiler, AIA Netherlands

“During the fifteen years that I have been involved in sports ministry, the training and materials by Church Sports International have helped me to sharpen my vision and have given me practical tools to use.”
MR, China

Church Sports International would like to announce a partnership with One Challenge International (OCI - www.oci.org) which is the parent mission agency for Sports Ambassadors – the first sports ministry mission in the world.  CSI, OC and SA have agreed to partner to do two specific things:  1.  Work with  SA Director Robin Cook to fulfill SA’s new vision and mission statement that includes a 4 E strategy (Evangelism, Edification, Encouragement, and Equipping.)  CSI’s specific role will be to focus on the Equipping quadrant while integrating that component into the other E’s.  2.  Work with OC to recruit, train and place sports ministry specialists on the various OC field teams. 

This is a marvelous blending of two mission agencies with very similar vision and mission statements … and a commitment to the local church.  We encourage you to access the OC website (www.oci.org) and the SA web page on that site in order to learn more about the partnership and the opportunities to be a part of SA and/or OC Field Teams as a sports ministry specialist.
