Game On for God

THE IMPACT OF GRACE SPORTS MINISTRY

AUTHOR: HOSEA RANDRIA

At the close of 2022, a clear vision emerged: to launch a sports ministry at Grace Community Church. It was an idea built on a simple truth—that God can use anything to reach people for His Kingdom. After much prayer and presentation, the vision was approved, and by March 2023, Grace Sports Ministry officially began.

Since then, we’ve seen over 2,000 individuals come to our campus for weekly sports events. Many of these participants had never stepped foot inside Grace Community Church before! Each week, around 100 people gather in the Grace gym to play basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. But it’s more than just games; it’s about fostering community, connection, and an unexpected opportunity to encounter Christ.

Lives Changed Through Sports

We’ve witnessed incredible transformations. People who initially came just to play are now attending our Sunday services, and some have even made the life-changing decision to be baptized. Our ministry is continually expanding; we’re excited to introduce table tennis to our weekly lineup soon, offering even more ways to bring people together and spark meaningful conversations in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Grace Sports Ministry isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s about spiritual growth, relational outreach, and creating a space where people feel seen, heard, welcomed, and loved.

Join the Team!

We invite all believers to join us—not just to play, but to connect, share your faith, build new friendships, and be part of what God is doing through sports. Whether you come to compete, encourage, or simply hang out, your presence matters.

Come play, connect, and make a difference. Grace Sports Ministry is where fun meets faith, and every game is a chance to grow God’s Kingdom.
