Team Sports Associate

Mission/Objective:

The mission of the Team Sports Associate, or TSA, is to assist the Team Sports Coordinator in running sports ministries to develop fully devoted followers of Christ. In order to have success as the Team Sports Associate an individual must be effective in the following areas:

• Discipleship

• Create an environment where coaches can disciple coaches, and coaches can disciple kids.

• Evangelism

• Have a heart for sharing the truth of the Gospel with the unchurched members of our community who join our sports leagues.
