What We Believe
A Christ-centered...faith-filled... Spirit-led ministry for sports fans
UNPACKIN' it Ministries believes in bringing God honor and glory by challenging, encouraging,
and inspiring sports fans to follow Jesus and become more like Him.
​
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, revealing
the love of God to the world.
​
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit.
​
We believe Jesus was sent to earth to save sinners, He died on the cross and was resurrected, and later ascended to heaven.
He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, took our place on the cross, and paid the punishment for our sins.
​
We believe salvation is a free gift because of God’s grace and love, and it’s not because of our works.
​
We believe those who put their faith and trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior will live eternally with God.
THE SPORTS FAN FOLLOWING JESUS MANIFESTO
I put my faith in Jesus as the true Savior instead of my favorite athlete.
I am more committed to following Jesus than sports stories, stats, and scores.
I desire to be more passionate about sharing the Gospel than celebrating a championship win.
I find more joy in Christ than in seeing my team score in the final seconds of a game.
I place more trust in God’s Word than in sports media.
I am more dedicated to my family and friends than watching my favorite team play.
I trust I have peace in Jesus, surpassing all understanding even during a losing season.
I am more committed to generosity than to sports betting.
I will get angrier about injustice in the world than about a ref’s bad call.
I believe God is a God of miracles beyond the court and field.
Lastly, I embrace real winning as receiving God's grace and forgiveness.
