2024 CWS Recap

On June 21st-22nd, 2024, Uncommon Sports Group hosted the second annual Christians Working in Sports (CWS) Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The conference once again brought together believers from across the sport industry, encouraging and equipping them in their faith.

 

This year's conference brought together over 150 Christians working in college and professional sports. Together, they worshipped the Lord, met new people, and heard from a diverse lineup of speakers who provided insights into their journeys as Christ-followers, specifically on how faith in Christ can connect with a career in sports.

Attendee Testimonials

"My biggest takeaway from this conference was to make an advanced decision on how you will handle trials and adversity. It has shaped my view on my time in the sport industry, broadened my support system, and reinforced my purpose and calling to this career."

Nick Peterson

Sporting Kansas City

"I have a renewed spirit and I'm filled with a lot of hope after interacting with so many impressive people across the sports industry that chose to spend a weekend pouring into each other and getting closer to God. Our industry is competitive and tiring but when we do it with and for God, incredible works get done. I'm inspired by how much humility was in the room and that in the midst of summer, so many chose to be here."
