Ministry
MISSION STATEMENT
Pepperdine Sports Ministry exists to share and cultivate the love of Jesus in the hearts of our student-athletes and coaches. We desire to present unique opportunities and experiences which equip and encourage student-athletes to become fully alive as children of God.
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
Hebrews 12:1
The growth of Pepperdine’s student-athletes relationship with Jesus is at the core of what we do and who we are. Creating experiences, opportunities and conversations for this to happen is our greatest desire. Here are some ways in which we do this:
Our weekly Athlete Chapel provides a place for student-athletes to engage with Athletic staff, coaches and outside speakers who invite, encourage and challenge them in their faith.
Our multiple weekly small groups, the ladies hosted by staff member Jenna McPherson and FCA area representative Leah Perera, and the men, hosted by Athletics Chaplain Jordan Holm and two-time World Series champion Brian Wilson, both strive to create a space for student-athletes to grow and be supported in their faith journey.
This summer, we took our second multi-sport mission trip when we traveled back to Panama.
Weekly book studies are led by Jordan and Jenna to create a space for our coaches to grow
deeper in their faith and with each other.
Jordan and Jenna also consistently meet one-on-one with student-athletes for mentoring and discipleship.
