Soccer Chaplains United

United by a common code and a shared vision
to provide spiritual care, wise counsel, and meaningful service for soccer

ABOUT US

Soccer Chaplains United is a Christian organization dedicated to providing spiritual care, wise counsel, and meaningful service to those in the world of soccer.

Our primary emphasis is on chaplaincy development that considers and cares for the whole person — whether an athlete, coach, staff member, official, alumni, fan, or family member. We train our chaplains to pastorally and spiritually care for the greater soccer community.

Soccer Chaplains United also facilitates meaningful service opportunities between the faith and soccer community. Through our Community Project initiatives  we resource different groups with new and used soccer gear to affect change locally and globally.

Soccer Chaplains United is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.

New Year’s Eve 2025 – Let Christ ‘First-Foot’ Into Your Heart and Life
