Ministry:

Artists and Athletes of Faith is a ministry that works to help our youth build resilient identity as a child of God and bring the Kingdom of Jesus Christ to our local high school and college communities. We provide faith based servant leadership training by investing in multi-generational relationships which are transformational rather than transactional. This Kingdom-centric discipleship is accomplished through sports conditioning training, campus leadership clubs, student-alumni mentorship programs, Bible studies, team chaplaincies, and sharing meals together.

Thank you so much for your trust and faithful support. Your prayers and financial contributions make you a direct part of this restorative action in our community!

Hebrews 10:23-25

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
