Navarro College Sports Ministry
Navarro College Sports
Ministry
“Sports ministry, that’s a thing?” “I didn’t know faith and sports could go
together.” These are two of the most common questions and responses
when I mention sports ministry to people. The goal of UCF Wesley
Sports Ministry is to come alongside the athletic programs of Navarro
College and offer spiritual guidance, mentorship, leadership training, and
discipleship for our student-athletes. We want to care for the whole
person, not just the athlete. With this we answer questions about identity
to show you are more than what you do. As we find identity in who God
has called us to be, we learn how to live out our faith in the sports we
play and our daily lives. The goal is not to be an athlete who happens to
be a Christian, but to be a Christian Athlete. This past Fall 2019 we hit
the ground running with the sports ministry branch of the UCF Wesley
primarily serving the Navarro College Football and Baseball teams. This
included weekly coaches and team bible studies along with taking our
Christian Leadership Class to the student-athletes. We are geared up
this semester to serve more teams across campus as they strive to
succeed on and off the field.
