About Called To Compete Inc
Called To Compete Inc, known through Kingdom Sports, is for people who want sports to shape more than a scoreboard. Based in Omaha, NE, it trains coaches and athletes to compete biblically through camps, gatherings, Bible studies, publishing, and speaking. If you care about sports ministry that stays close to Scripture and daily life, this is the kind of work that gives that idea real structure.
What sets Kingdom Sports apart is how directly it ties sports training to biblical teaching. Its work shows up in camps, coach support, discipleship groups, publishing, and speaking, so the message does not stay in one place or one format. It keeps returning to the same aim, helping athletes and coaches think about competition as part of Christian living.
