2026 Ministry Theme

In the fast-paced world of sports, it’s easy to get caught up in the game—the noise, the pressure, the crowds, the stats, the wins and the losses. Every day, it feels like everyone needs something. This pace can lead to burnout, frustration and a desire to check out. 

God’s plan is for us to remain connected to Him and to one another. He sent His Son to restore our relationship with Him. God’s love is not performance-based; it is proven out through His pursuit of us and giving of His Son, Jesus. 

As we stay connected to Christ, He changes us from the inside out, and we bear fruit that lasts through every season. The fruit we bear (love, joy, peace, kindness, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) proves we are His disciples. We need Him, and we need His people. When connected to Christ, we can lead our family, our team and our community. May this be a season of moving from disconnection to connection—not just with the game, but with one another and Christ.
