George W. Truett Theological Seminary offers a graduate certificate in sports ministry as an add-on to a master’s in divinity. By connecting sports with faith in the form of worship, this program reaches far beyond the world of athletics.
Baylor alumna and retreat ministry coordinator Abby Lee works in the Faith & Sports Institute within Truett Seminary. Lee graduated in May — completing her master’s in divinity with a concentration in sports ministry — and was hired in August.
“I just fell in love with their mission and vision and the idea of thinking about how we exist as Christians in our sports — whether you’re an athlete, or a coach, or a sports chaplain, or just a fan or a parent of someone who plays sports,” Lee said.
