Launch a Sports Factory Location.
We inspire, train and equip churches to lead sports and fitness ministry in their local communities. We do this through our network of Bases & Games Makers.
Sports Factory is a tried and tested way of introducing Jesus to your local community using Sport and Fitness as the bridge to opening the gospel.
Games Makers start by committing to give 2 hours a week to start, lead or support a christian sports or fitness session in their local area. We supports Games Makers in the following ways:
-
Access to in-person training days during the year
Online training sessions with our team
