Pastors: How Do You Reach Families Who Aren't Coming to Church?
One child joins a sports league. An entire family comes within reach of the Gospel. Upward Sports equips your church to turn that opportunity into ministry with eternal significance.
A Sports League Can Open Your Church to New Families
Some families who wouldn't consider visiting your church on Sunday may gladly come to watch their children play.
An organized youth sports league gives your church opportunities to welcome those families back throughout a season.
Upward Sports equips churches to host these leagues, providing a practical way to reach families who might otherwise never visit. Schedule a Call With Upward
More Than a Game: An Opportunity to Share the Gospel
In an average Upward league, 41% of players indicate no church affiliation. Behind that statistic are children, parents, and coaches who may not yet know Jesus.
Through devotions and intentional ministry, children can encounter the Gospel. And a child's newfound faith can open the door to conversations about Christ with parents and siblings.

How Upward Equips Your Church to Launch Its Own League
Your church hosts the league. Upward provides training, league-management tools, Gospel-centered resources, and ongoing support.
A gym, field, or another suitable space may be enough to begin exploring what could work for your church. You don't have to build the program from scratch.
