Whether you're a coach, an athlete, a volunteer at Sports Camp, a business leader, or someone looking to grow in your walk with God—this opportunity is for you! Our goal with this event is to equip the people of God to do the work of God, not just in sports but in every area of life.

From 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm there will be an optional hands-on demonstration of the "Competing Biblically" approach, specifically for coaches looking to implement this philosophy in their practices and workouts.

Ron Brown will be speaking on  "Cross - The Gospel in Sport."

Gordon Thiessen will speak on "Capable - How to Apply the Word to Sport."

Ron will return to the stage to teach  "Character - How to Develop a Culture of Character within your Team and Program."

At 1:00, Cole, Ron, and Gordon will teach "Compete", an optional hands-on demonstration of the “Competing Biblically” approach, specifically for coaches looking to implement this philosophy in their practices and workouts.

We will meet in the Hope Chapel auditorium. Come at 8:00am for registration. This year, you can get a ticket that includes a delicious lunch for $20 or you can opt for a free ticket without lunch. Even if you want a no-lunch ticket, you still need to register to reserve your spot. We hope you'll join us!
