But one form of ministry has the unique power to fulfill this mission in a way that transcends the global community.
Every culture embraces the world of sports in one way or another.
No one understands that more than Sheldon Bassett, chair of the Lifetime Fitness and Sports Ministry Department at Moody. Sports and athletics have become a common denominator in the world. Moody became a pioneer in the field of sports ministry in 1998 when it conceived a vision to develop an education major for those who use recreation and sports as a ministry in the church. The Sports Ministry Major is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to develop expertise in sports with a Christian worldview. This allows students with special interests to design a course that will accomplish their goals.
