Establishing, developing, empowering & resourcing sports chaplaincy entities
We help raise better people, better athletes.
Why do I need a chaplain?
Everyone cares about the performance and victories of sports people, but who cares for the person regardless of performance? The SPORTS CHAPLAIN!
A chappy encourages and supports all types of sports people their presence. They provide support emotionally, mentally, spiritually and relationally. The care they provide helps raise better people, better athletes.
