Use Sports to Change Lives for Christ

Are you a competitive, athletic-minded Christian leader who believes sports can be used as a powerful tool to reach the next generation for Jesus?

Do you thrive around teams, practices, competition, mentorship, and leadership development?

At Power Cross, we use athletics as the bridge to build relationships with young men and introduce them to the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every practice, workout, team meeting, meal, and conversation becomes an opportunity for discipleship and transformation.

We are looking for a servant leader who can connect with young men, lead with energy and authenticity, and help develop future Christian husbands, fathers, coaches, leaders, and difference-makers.

This is not a desk job.

This is frontline ministry through sports, relationships, mentorship, and discipleship.

Biblical Foundation

Romans 12:6-8

"If your gift is to lead, do it diligently... if it is to encourage, give encouragement."

We believe ministry happens in locker rooms, car rides, practices, weight rooms, team meals, and everyday conversations.

At Power Cross, sports are not the mission - they are the vehicle God uses to reach hearts.
