Every young person seeks a place to belong.
SportQuest’s international family of ministries creates opportunities for youth to find community and discover the love of Jesus through sport, play, and fitness.
Growth as Athletes
Community through Sport
Transformation in Jesus
Many youth live outside the reach of traditional church programs.
They might not feel comfortable or safe in that environment, but sport ministries help Christians follow the Great Commission and go beyond the walls of the church to reach them.
Sport activities create a safe space that opens hearts to the gospel.
Our sport ministries challenge youth to reach their potential as athletes, discover a biblical worldview, and find their place in God’s story.

They find confidence through athletics.
Participants gain access to truly excellent sports training led by accomplished athletes and coaches.
.

They find community through their teams.
Many youth without a strong family structure find one through both our programs and the church.

They find a new identity in Jesus.
Caring mentors help athletes discover their true identities as God’s children and their purpose as disciples of Jesus.
Global presence.
Endless OPPORTUNITIES.
Our international family of Sport Missionaries plants sports-centered ministries in communities underserved by Christian missions and services.
Meanwhile, our team at SportQuest HQ supports these missionaries by…

Empowering Uniqueness
Each sport ministry we support has its own format and identity within its own culture and community.
Providing Training
We help our
Sport Missionaries build successful ministries with trainings in leadership development, team-building, and more. We also support coaches with advanced certifications and trainings within their sport.


Gathering Support
We back up missionaries by raising funds, sending short-term teams on trips to support their programs, and connecting them with one another as an international community of ministry leaders.
Sport is a universal language.
- SportQuest currently supports 27 Sport Missionaries in 11 countries.
- Throughout 25 years of ministry, our programs and partners have reached more than 50,000 youth. Often, their families are reached through the ministries as well.
- SportQuest is also part of the global sport movement, an international network of churches, organizations, and leaders who make disciples of Christ through sport, fitness, and play.

Here’s how we help youth discover God’s love through sport and play.
1. Create Community
Young people find a place to belong by joining our sports programs, and the coaches we support become trusted mentors in their lives.
2. Share the Gospel
In organic, conversational ways, we invite youth to encounter Jesus, experience prayer, study the Word, and develop a biblical worldview.
3. Celebrate God’s Victories
Time and time again, we marvel at God’s work of salvation and transformation in participants’ lives. In many cases, parents also become involved and discover the love of God.

Join a global movement to champion families and youth.
SportQuest is part of All4One Ministries. Together with our adventure ministry, 4MUS, we invite families into inspiring activities, authentic community, and intentional opportunities to discover Jesus and God’s good plan for their lives.

4MUS serves adults,
and their families as well, through life-changing outdoor adventures that awaken hearts, bring clarity to their purpose in life, and strengthen family relationships.

SportQuest serves youth, and their families by extension, through a global movement of sport ministry leaders who help them discover a biblical worldview and the love of Christ.
Youth around the world are searching for the kind of love and acceptance only Jesus provides.
But, they need a safe place to meet Him outside of traditional church programs. Sport activities create that opportunity, and we support a worldwide network of
Sport Missionaries who help kids encounter the love of God through sport and play.
