What is sports ministry?

All Out Sports is not just a recreation league - it is an innovative sports ministry using excellent programming as an engaging platform to introduce people to Jesus Christ and connect them to the New Life Church family.

Our Philosophy: We view our sports ministry as a mission field to reach people who may never step foot in a church otherwise. Our goal is to create an environment of welcome and inclusion where no one is excluded due to age, skill level, or personal situation. We embrace competition rather than shying away from it, striving to earn the "right to be heard" by offering top-quality instruction and character development.

Our Approach: Clinician-Style Training Rather than traditional team practices, we utilize a clinician-style training model led by our expert sports directors. This allows consistent, high-level instruction across all skill levels.

Reaching our community through sports.

Discipleship-Focused: Beyond athletics, discipleship is core to All Out Sports. Each session includes a large group devotional led by a dedicated discipleship coordinator skilled in engaging all ages.

Connection to Church: Our sports ministry serves as an intentional bridge to connect participants into the New Life Church body. We have no separation between ministry and church, freely sharing about church events and faith. Our goal is to use sports as a first step toward discipleship within the church family.

The Future: As All Out Sports continues to mature, our vision is to make it a fully integrated part of New Life's outreach, evangelism, and discipleship efforts - using sports as an innovative way to naturally invite people into the church.
