WHO WE ARE

We use the international language of sports to mobilize the gospel centered work of churches and sports chaplains around the world. Since our founding in 1996, we’ve worked with thousands of churches and chaplains in more than 100 countries.

CEDE SPORTS creates the infrastructure and support to empower the day-to-day work of CEDE SPORTS Churches and CEDE SPORTS Chaplaincy. We are based upon a belief which is encapsulated in the word cede. Cede means to relinquish or yield control. We work to see God glorified and others succeed. It is who we are.

OUR DISTINCTIVES

Commitment to Churches

We see the local church as the body and bride of Christ and the primary means through which he works in the world today.

Dedication to Relational Ministry

While Christ uses many different venues for his work, we emphasize the foundation of personal relationships for whatever venue is utilized.

Mobilization through Development

We focus on helping others succeed in ministry and offering creative tools and development processes to fuel that success.

Encouragement of Others

We create opportunities for support and collaboration, connecting like minded sports ministers and ministries.
