Why Sports? Because sports give your church a natural way to reach your community, build relationships with families, and share the Gospel.

Happy ! We believe sports ministry can play an important role in helping kids grow and thrive. Upward Sports experiences are designed with the whole child in mind, creating opportunities to build confidence, stay active, grow in faith, have fun, and develop meaningful relationships.

Because sports can impact so much more than what happens on the field or court. They can shape how kids grow, connect, and see themselves.

Our ministry partner, Church Answers, recently sat down with Pastor Josh Jordan from First Baptist Church Covington, LA, an Upward Sports ambassador and league director, for a great conversation!

Josh shares how sports can help churches build meaningful connections in their communities and foster relationships that last long after the season ends. We’re thankful for the way Josh leads and serves his community through sports ministry.

What an honor to be part of the inaugural Church Answers Awards in Nashville, TN, this week!

Upward Sports was grateful to serve as a Ministry Sponsor and to present the Community Impact Award to one of our Upward Sports church partners, First Baptist Church of Kissimmee, FL, Pastor Tim Wilder. Congratulations! 👏

We also want to celebrate another amazing Upward Sports church partner, Townsend Church in Delaware, Pastor Tim Sparrow, who received the Church Innovation Award. 🎉

Both of these churches are serving their communities, finding fresh ways to reach families, and keeping the Gospel at the center of what they do. We’re honored to partner with churches like these that are making an impact right where God has placed them.

Thank you, Church Answers, for allowing us to be part of such a special event. We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve the local church alongside you!
