The Association of Church Sports and Recreation Ministries
Frequently asked questions
How do I start a Sports, Recreation, or Fitness Ministry for my church?
Check our online store for the book, Sports Ministry that Wins. We also have staff who can assist you in a step-by-step process. Contact us for more information.
Can my church have a sports, recreation, or fitness ministry if we don't have a gym?
Yes! Several options are given in the book, Sports Ministry that Wins, found in our online store. We can also connect you with churches that have vibrant sports ministries despite the lack of their own facilities.
Where can I go to meet other sports ministers?
CSRM partners with churches and other nonprofit organizations to conduct the REACHgathering Conference.
We also conduct regional roundtables, gatherings and teleconferencing meetings where many sports ministers gather together.
What is the benefit of a church having a sports ministry?
Sports ministry opens up numerous opportunities to invite your community into relationships with the people of your church. Sports are already popular in our culture, so combining sports with ministry helps a lot of churches reach people who would never otherwise be introduced to Christians.
How can I help with sports ministries outside of the United States?
Please check out the pages for our international ministry staff and global partners.
Are there any sports ministry resources that are inexpensive or free that can help my church?
Check out our online store for a selection of items that might assist you.
How is CSRM different from other sports ministry organizations?
We recognize that many sports ministry organizations are doing wonderful things for the gospel around the world, and we even partner with many of them. Check out our partnerships. What sets CSRM apart from many other organizations is our focus on the local church. In short, our passion is to equip the local church to change lives through Jesus through sports, recreation, and fitness ministry.
I am considering partnering financially. How would my donation be used?
Our ministry is completely dependent upon the generosity of individuals, churches, and organizations. Giving to our general fund helps cover the administrative costs of our non-profit organization in accomplishing our mission. Giving directly to any of our domestic or international ministry representatives is broken down this way: 90% goes to the individual. 10% goes to our general fund to help with administration costs.
