Introducing Upward Running: A New Ministry Program for Churches
Upward Sports is thrilled to launch Upward Running as an innovative program offering for churches. By combining our proven training plans, spiritual encouragement, and sports expertise, Upward Running enables Run Coaches to utilize this powerful ministry outreach tool effectively.
4 Reasons to Offer an Upward Running Ministry at Your Church:
1. Reach Your Community
Upward Running invites adults from your community to embark on a journey of faith and fitness. Whether participants are seasoned walkers, runners, or new to fitness, the program provides an accessible pathway to both healthy and spiritual growth.
2. Promote Healthy Living
Through structured training plans and safe sports practices, Upward Running encourages participants to adopt healthier lifestyles. Together, participants will progress from the Couch to a 5K, experiencing the benefits of physical activity while supporting each other on their wellness journeys. This group dynamic fosters a commitment to health and celebrates each milestone achieved.
3. Foster Togetherness
Upward Running goes beyond physical fitness by creating a supportive and engaging community that is hosted and supported by your church. As a Run Coach, your goal is to facilitate regular group runs, social events, and shared milestones, which foster camaraderie and accountability. This deeper connection enhances the overall experience and strengthens participants’ commitment to their personal goals.
4. Create Ministry Opportunities
Upward Running integrates faith-based principles into its training, ensuring that spiritual growth remains a core focus. With weekly devotions and comprehensive ministry resources, Run Coaches are equipped to lead with success. This holistic approach sustains your ministry’s impact, enriching participants’ experiences by nurturing both their physical and spiritual well-being.
