Sports Chaplaincy Ireland National Conference 2026
Made for More... and More
"As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God... now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more." – 1 Thessalonians 4:1
We are delighted to invite our sports chaplains, supporters, partners and friends to the Sports Chaplaincy Ireland National Conference 2026 at the Clearer Twist National Stadium, Windsor Park. This year's theme, "Made for More... and More," is rooted in God's call for us to continually grow in Him. We will explore the question: Who are you when the title, role or jersey is taken away? Whether you are a sports chaplain, athlete, coach, referee, administrator or volunteer, our true identity is not found in what we do, but in who we are in Christ. From that secure identity, God calls us to live, love and serve Him more and more.
Throughout the day, you'll hear inspiring stories and practical insights from sports chaplains and leaders from across the Home Nations as we encourage, challenge and learn from one another. Together, we will seek God's continued guidance as we serve our sporting communities with grace and truth, growing in faith, confidence and effectiveness as we answer His call.
Being a sports chaplain is a unique and privileged calling. This conference is designed to refresh, equip and encourage you for the season ahead. Whether you are already serving, considering chaplaincy, or supporting the ministry through prayer or partnership, you'll enjoy inspiring teaching, worship, meaningful fellowship, great food and opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for seeing lives transformed through sport.
Early Bird Tickets: £20 (available until 31 August)
Standard Tickets: £30 (from 1 September)
Lunch & Refreshments will be provided throughout the day (By Yellow Door)
Come and join us as we celebrate what God is doing through sports chaplaincy across Ireland and beyond. Together, let's embrace His invitation to be Made for More... and More - growing deeper in Christ and serving Him faithfully in our sporting communities.

🎯 Theme: Made for More... and More
This conference is an opportunity to pause, be refreshed, encouraged and equipped as we continue in the unique calling of sports chaplaincy. We’ll spend the day worshipping together, hearing inspiring stories, learning from one another, sharing fellowship and enjoying some good food along the way! 🙏
We’ll be joined by sports chaplains, athletes, coaches, referees and administrators from across the Home Nations, and we’re excited about the conversations, connections and encouragement that will come from gathering together.
Our theme, Made for More... and More, will challenge us to look beyond our roles, titles and what we do, and to remember who we are in Christ. As 1 Thessalonians 4:1 reminds us, we are called to continue to grow and live for God “more and more.”
