We have been given the command to “go and make disciples of all nations.” This command does not come in one form or another. We are given flexibility and freedom in doing so. Sports are one of the greatest avenues in which we build, develop, and nurture relationships. This is even true of the Olympics. Every four years we celebrate either the winter or summer Olympics, and every four years, the “nations” come together for one common purpose: compete through sports.
Nansemond River Sports and Recreation seeks to share the love of Christ with nonbelievers and develop continued relationships with believers. We do this by creating, planning, and implementing a variety of sports interests, clinics, teams, and events.
Join us as we seek to bring God glory through sports and recreation.
