"And what ever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the
Father through him."
Colossians 3:17

CrossPoint's Sports Ministry has a simple mission---we
use sports to introduce families to Jesus Christ. Sports
is huge in the Katy community, so we believe the most
effective way to outreach to families here who don't
know Jesus is through sports. We offer fun activities
for everyone in the family.

Too often, we say and
do things for our own selfish reasons. We focus on ourselves
and attempt to glorify ourselves. When we do this, we lose
our perspective on Jesus' desire for us to love each other
as we love ourselves. We become self centered as opposed to
Jesus centered. This is true in all aspects of life, even
sports. CrossPoint's Sports Ministry redirects our focus
from ourselves back to Jesus by sharing God's word with
athletes of all ages and skill levels. Suddenly, winning a
game isn't as important as what my child and I are learning
from the experience and how it will impact our future.
Although there is a great deal of pressure to be the best
and win at all costs, it's not what Jesus has in mind for us. |

“Accept one another,
then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring
praise to God.”
Romans 15:7
