Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand

Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand Serving New Zealand's sporting community through providing pastoral care and mentoring. To donate to SCNZ visit sportschaplaincy.co.nz/funding-donations

Sports Chaplains love sport and love people. We are trained and experienced in helping sportspeople at all levels, as well as coaches, administrators, officials, and their families in the unique and crazy challenges that sport, and life in general, can throw at you. We're not coaches, not psyches or professional counsellors, but neutral caring friends who want to walk the journey with you through

the triumphs, trials and the tragedies, from the beginning, during and after your sports career. Some of the things we can help you with are encouragement, mentoring, stress management and relationship skills. We will support you through injury, non-selection, grief, retirement and beyond. As Christian pastoral care givers our clear focus is to provide the very best care for sports people. We serve people of all faiths, and those of no faith or religious background. We will always respect your own personal beliefs. We would love to hook you up with a Sports Chaplain, so please message us and we'll see how we can help.

Calling doesn’t always arrive loudly. Often it begins with noticing a need.

Willingness matters more than experience. Our training gives you the tools to make a difference.

Calling often begins with noticing. You don’t need to be extraordinary to serve faithfully.
