Do you like to travel, coach and play sports, love Jesus, and love spreading the Gospel?
UW Sports Ministry is an equipping ministry that works directly with local churches (mostly Protestant) across the U.S. to help churches put on sports camps at their church. During the summer, our staff will travel in teams of 3-4 to various churches around the country. Each week, the team will be in a new city or town working with a different set of churches.
Sports is an amazing tool for churches to use for discipleship and outreach in their community. If you love Jesus, sports, traveling and have a heart towards children, then come join us for a summer filled with sports, travel, and sharing the Gospel! UW sports camps are held at local churches across the country from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Summer staff will be responsible for running the sports camp at the church. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Coaching one of the four sports that UW offers – basketball, soccer, cheerleading, or Team 45 (skill-building for 4- and 5-year-olds)
- Leading and participating in worship – UW uses up to 10 songs that have motions set to them
- Leading Bible Time – sharing Bible stories with the campers
- Working directly with the different churches – each camp is a little different and tailoring camp to the individual churches is important
Perks to working with UW:
- You could receive school credit for practicum or internship if you are in degree programs such as: Education, Business, Marketing, Sports Management, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Sport Coaching, Athletic Training, Christian Studies, and more. Some educational institutions require prior approval before the start of an internship. It is the responsibility of the student to check with their institution to be sure they meet any requirements before they accept a position.
- You get to experience different cultures and environments across the US all summer. You are being paid to travel and tell people about Jesus – it can’t get much better than that!
- You get to invest in the next generation of believers.
