Network      CSRM Connections Regional Groups

Announcing changes to CSRM's Sports Outreach Leadership Development (SOLD) groups...

The CSRM board has determined 2011 to be the year they focus on developing local "Connections" for CSRM partners. Including the following...
  • Renaming and reinvigorating current SOLD groups into "CSRM Connections"
  • Initiating new regional "CSRM Connections" groups for areas not currently served by a local or regional SOLD group
  • Strengthening existing SOLD / "CSRM Connections" groups - including making efforts to reach out to local churches and para-ministries who have not yet been apart of a SOLD group
  • Creating new synergy by enhancing the opportunities for local Sports Outreach Ministers to "Connect" with one another
  • Maintaining the SOLD objectives of Leadership Development for all Sports Outreach Ministers
  • Identifying and empowering "Connections" Coordinators for each "CSRM Connections" group
  • Providing even more resources for "CSRM Connections" groups including: Connections for guest speakers/trainers; Connections with other Ministries and Connections with other resources all designed to "equip local churches to change lives through sport and recreation"
  • Developing a "3c1i" national youth basketball tournament for all CSRM member churches. This will be done in conjunction with CSRM, Connect Ministries, Chick-Fil-a & Impact Ministries (thus the: 3c1i). Each "CSRM Connections" group will be able to send teams to this tournament
  • Continuing the "CSRM Connections" via our website including Connecting those seeking a ministry position with churches looking to hire a Sports and Recreation Pastor and staff
  • Special Connections activities will occur at the annual Sports Outreach Summit this year in Indianapolis
