OverviewChrist First Sports was formed in December 2007 by four guys (Meet the Team) as a direct result of a sermon we heard from Francis Chan at Cornerstone Community Church. The sermon was about doing more within our community and around the world. At the time, we were meeting on a weekly basis to keep each other accountable in our marriages and being good fathers. Not knowing what God had planned for the group, we committed to pray and ask for His leading. After a few weeks of prayer, Jack came home from the baseball season and we immediately talked about organizing a baseball camp benefitting Children's Hunger Fund. Bingo! The baseball camp seemed right up our alley (considering Jack's profession), plus we all felt like we were being called to do more. Jack brought up the idea of starting a non-profit organization and it all started from there. Not knowing what we should call the organization, we knew that we wanted people to know our vision just by seeing our name. . . and that is to put Christ First!
Christ First Sports is a Christ-centered ministry organized to raise money for various youth organizations world-wide. Our intention for this organization is to support youth by hosting different sporting events (baseball camps, golf tournaments, soccer camps, 5K walks, etc) and giving the money to churches in our community as well as different Christian-based organizations worldwide. Our vision is clear, and that is to reach more people for Christ and share the gospel with them while gaining monetary support for other organizations that are also working toward the same goal.

Christ First Sports runs on a volunteer basis for all officers and directors. None are compensated for what we do, the time we put into the camps, or even for writing this specific paragraph. |
