ABOUT US
Our Mission
To inspire and equip athletes and coaches to train, compete, and live for Christ.
Our Vision
To create a community of athletes who seek first God’s kingdom in every aspect of their lives.
Who We Are
At 4:12 Sports Ministries, we care deeply about athletes and coaches and their holistic growth both on and off the field.
We are committed to the long-term growth of athletes – physically, mentally, and spiritually. We are working to transform the mindset and culture around sports. There is a story in every win and loss. God is always at work, and He is growing and maturing us through this process. We believe it is important for our athletes to see competition from this perspective.
We believe that personal transformation is an on-going process, not an event. We are committed to the long-term growth of athletes, not just a “quick fix”. Walking alongside imperfect people on a daily basis can be exciting and beautiful and hard and sometimes downright ugly. But that’s what we are committed to doing because it is what Jesus did and it is what He calls us to do.
At 4:12, there is no “aging out”. Transformation is a life-long process, and we are building a community of all ages and stages. From students to coaches, we are excited to be in community with you.
