About Home Church Hoops
A simple way to run Christ-centered basketball ministry that your church can sustain.
Home Church Hoops was born out of a burden to see local churches use sports—not just as entertainment—but as a clear path to discipleship and Gospel-centered relationships.
We bring coaching, structure, and ministry-minded systems so your church can host leagues, camps, and clinics that:
- Share the Gospel clearly at every event
- Invite unchurched families into real community
- Develop character, teamwork, and Christ-like leadership in kids and teens
Whether you meet in a gym, fellowship hall, school, or driveway, we help you use what you have to reach the families God has placed around you.
Our ministry heartbeat
We believe the local church is God’s primary tool for reaching the world. Home Church Hoops exists to serve pastors and leaders—not replace them—by providing a ready-to-run sports ministry that keeps Jesus at the center.
"We were praying for a way to connect with families who would never attend a Sunday service first. Home Church Hoops gave us a gospel-centered on-ramp that feels natural, fun, and sustainable."

Why Basketball Ministry Works
Basketball builds bridges where sermons alone can’t.
In small towns and rural communities, the gym often fills up faster than the sanctuary. Basketball creates a natural, non-threatening space for relationships to form—and for the hope of Jesus to be shared.
- Kids come for the game, stay for the relationships.
- Parents show up to cheer, stay to hear the Gospel.
- Volunteers discover a tangible, joyful way to serve.
When the ball bounces, conversations open. When teams huddle, hearts soften. It’s a powerful environment for planting seeds of truth in kids, teens, and whole families.
For churches
- Reach families who aren’t ready to visit on Sunday.
- Create meaningful volunteer roles for all ages.
- Show your community you care about their kids, not just attendance.
For families & kids
- Safe, family-friendly environment on and off the court.
- Coaches who care more about character than the scoreboard.
- Opportunities for spiritual conversations that feel natural, not forced.
