In a few days, the Association of Church Sports and Recreation Ministers (CSRM) wlll be hosting the sports outreach summit just outside of Dallas, TX.? The Summit exists to bring together men and women who desire to use the tools of sport and play to impact their local communities for Christ. While there are several sports ministry conferences that exist, the primary uniqueness of CSRM is the intentional focus on the local church as the primary instrument of influence for maximum kingdom impact.? Each Spring since 1997 hundreds of sports ministers from the US and abroad have been coming together to network, learn from one another, and be encouraged.? The 2012 Summit has a great line up of speakers, dozens of great workshops, and most importantly, over 100 sports ministers from across the country coming together for the event.
Content at the conference will range from theology, philosophy, and Biblical foundations for sports ministry to the nuts and bolts of running a sports league within the church.? Special guests have been invited to speak on specific topics including utilizing social media within a ministry context, running big events, leading from the middle, summer camping, community partnerships, and much more.
I?ve personally been involved in the Summit for the past 5 years and am encouraged each year to see the connections that are made by men and women with similar passions, interests, and challenges.? I?m always amazed to see how the Lord works year in and year out to accomplish His plans through this event.? As the Summit coordinator I have a front row seat to watch how the Lord moves in the lives of people at the Summit each year and I?m excited to see what He has in store for us in a few weeks in Dallas!
***Bob Schindler and Tim Briggs will be in attendance at the conference as well as presenting some workshops.
