About

Our Ministry

Coaching For Christ (C4C) was formed in 2004 as a Christian ministry to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the many thousands who love or have an interest in the game of football.

C4C sees the sport of football as an ‘outreach opportunity’ not an ‘obsession’. Millions of pounds are spent on sports and recreation around the world each year. If we’re not playing, we’re watching. C4C seeks to captivate this interest and use soccer as a platform for sharing the love of Jesus Christ.

Our Aim

The ultimate aim of C4C is to enable people to find a new ‘manager’, a different kind of rule book, and a prize that’s even better than the world cup! C4C seeks to introduce Jesus into their lives and give a new purpose for living.

Our Methods

C4C is made up of a team of qualified soccer coaches. Most importantly, each member of the team has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Having fully committed their lives to Him, they are determined to combine their skills and expertise in sports with their faith for the furtherance of the Gospel.

Whilst the interest in football has no age barriers, it is inevitable that a large area of the work of C4C is with young people. C4C uses different programmes to further the work with youth:

- Development Centres
- Under-13 Community League
- Schools Ministry
- International Missions
- Summer Camps
- C4C Equip (sports ministry training)

C4C also coaches adult teams. This provides a means of reaching an older generation with the Gospel. The work with adults includes helping Christians develop their ability to witness effectively and seeks to encourage their involvement in the work of C4C.
