This past month, Uncommon Sports Group hosted the 2nd Annual Christians Working in Sports (CWS) Conference in Minneapolis, MN. The conference brought together approximately 150 followers of Christ from across the sport industry for two days of connection, encouragement, and growth.
This year's conference provided attendees with fifteen Christ-centered speakers from across the sport industry. The list of speakers included Wayne Simien, Dayton Moore, Beth Wilmeth, Molly McManimie, Ryan Saunders, Chris Klein, Mike Linch, Toks Arowojolu, Jay Jacobs, Moses Ehambe, Kelli Masters, Johnny Shelton, Angela Marin, Paul Allen, and Hans Malebranche.
These experienced speakers from the sport industry discussed various relevant topics including the importance of community as a Christian in sports, the legacy of encouragement, navigating trials and temptations in sports, and lessons in Christian leadership, amongst others!
Along with hearing powerful messages from the speakers, attendees were given the opportunity to engage with one another through small group discussions. In between sessions, attendees were able to discuss the message from the session with one another providing opportunities for mutual edification and relationships to form.
On the first night of the conference, USG hosted a social at Target Field in downtown Minneapolis for attendees. The social included a meal and a time for relationship building, a panel session hosted by Paul Allen on the topic of the importance of community, and a tour of the Target Field facility.
On Sunday of the weekend of the conference, select attendees who signed up to participate were given the opportunity to serve the Minneapolis community through a gospel outreach activity. Attendees were split up into twelve groups and sent out to different parts of the city to minister the gospel to people in the area.
The 2nd annual CWS Conference was impactful in many ways, and we thank the Lord for the work that He accomplished in the lives of those in attendance to help them be powerful witnesses to Him while serving in the sport industry.
