Association of Church Sports & Recreation Ministries, Inc. - CSRM

Who We Are

Our passion is to see lives changed through the use of sports, recreation, and fitness ministries by the local church.

We fulfill this through resourcing, training, and equipping local church leaders for ministry around the world.

Those leaders are mobilizing their local church to build bridges to their communities for the purpose of leading people into a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Strategy

Relationships

We're all about relationship building. Regional roundtables, conferences, video meetings, email groups, it doesn't matter; if it involves talking with sports, recreation, and fitness ministers and leaders, near and far, we love it. Building those networks and connecting people around the world provides community, care, support, and partnerships for this unique ministry.

We also build relationships through offering coaching for sports ministries. Our coaching relationships offer assessments of churches' current sports ministries and assistance in developing strategic plans for greater
outreach effectiveness, through one-time coaching sessions, or more consistent coaching relationships.

Resources

Two words - Overwhelming Victory. We're so passionate about providing excellent, theologically sound, and practical resources to equip local church sports ministers and volunteers that we created our own resource division to house them all.
Through the work of our staff and SR&F experts around the world, we built a resource collection that includes sports ministry certification, a yearly conference at the REACHGathering, classes through our AGON institute as well as books, podcasts, online roundtables, training manuals and much more!
