Thousands of Christians around the UK play sport every week.
Just think of the numbers involved: 15.74 million adults play sport weekly – that’s about a third of adults in the UK. The number is higher in the young-adult bracket where 55.2% take part in at least one session of sport a week, and even higher among 11-16 year olds where it is 86.6%!
Sporting church
If the church is even partially a representation of these demographics, then it would mean that sports players are arguably one of the largest groups in any church.
