The Apostle Paul often used sporting images to illustrate aspects of the life of the Christian. He writes this:

Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize?

Run in such a way that you may win it.

Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. 

So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.                                 

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

The major ministry programs are:

   Ministry Personnel:

 The "Tackers" Sport programs

operate in  Basketball and Tennis and take kids from the age of 6 and teach them basic skills of the game in a non competitive environment, plus life skilling so that we create good sportspeople with basic Biblical concepts of how people relate to each other in creative ways.

Tackers leads on to Under 10's, also non competitive.

We sow into the kids with intention of maintaining relationships with them as they grow through the system 

  

Erik Olsen:

Is part time (two days a week) as Events Ministry Coordinator. This is the same role as he is performing for the Baptist Youth, where he is coordinating SportsFest. Erik is released by CCSRA  to pursue his important role in the Leavers programs at Dunsborough and Rottnest, as well as camping and other Youth Groups activities, not the least of which are SYG and Sportsfest (the Baptist program)
     

Saturday Westchurch basketball program.

The Westchurch program runs all year round in two distinct seasons, Summer and Winter. It seeks to combine a quality highly competitive and well regulated basketball competition with an opportunity for churches to be involved in mission, simply through playing with and building relationships with people.
