Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand

Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand Serving New Zealand's sporting community through providing pastoral care and mentoring. To donate to SCNZ visit sportschaplaincy.co.nz/funding-donations

Sports Chaplains love sport and love people. We are trained and experienced in helping sportspeople at all levels, as well as coaches, administrators, officials, and their families in the unique and crazy challenges that sport, and life in general, can throw at you. We're not coaches, not psyches or professional counsellors, but neutral caring friends who want to walk the journey with you through

the triumphs, trials and the tragedies, from the beginning, during and after your sports career. Some of the things we can help you with are encouragement, mentoring, stress management and relationship skills. We will support you through injury, non-selection, grief, retirement and beyond. As Christian pastoral care givers our clear focus is to provide the very best care for sports people. We serve people of all faiths, and those of no faith or religious background. We will always respect your own personal beliefs. We would love to hook you up with a Sports Chaplain, so please message us and we'll see how we can help.

Our five core values guide everything we do and inspire us to make a positive impact in Aotearoa’s sporting communities.

👊🏼 Respect / Whakaute

We believe every person is made in the image of God and therefore has inherent dignity, value, and worth. We honour differences, listen well, and act with kindness and care. Respect is not conditional but given freely - a reflection of the love Christ has shown us.
