A Ministry of Hospitality
Hosting a player with Torch Sports Ministry is more than providing a place to stay—it’s an opportunity to support athletes who are using soccer to share the Gospel.

Your generosity allows these players to serve in camps, compete in games, and impact lives in our community.
What Does It Mean to Host a Player?
A host family provides a home away from home for players during the summer while they are ministering with Torch FC.
What Hosting Looks Like
Provide a place to sleep
Provide meals
(players are high-level athletes)
Access to laundry
A welcoming, Christ-centered home
Transportation
Torch will make every effort to provide transportation for players.

If you are able to provide occasional transportation, it is a blessing to the ministry—but not required.
