Sport
We choose to be healthy in body, mind and spirit
As a church we have formed several teams to compete locally in sports activities, and have other opportunities to play games among ourselves as well.
The football team has been successful over the years, as has the cricket team, and both are constantly seeking new players to strengthen the squad. We choose to play with fairness and set a good example in sportsmanship to other teams.
CCK Football
We choose to play fair, but we still compete
Under previous player-manager Jay Patel the CCK football team have discovered considerable success in previous seasons. But the new season has provided fresh challenges. If you are interested in being scouted or in joining the team, contact the church office for details.
The CCK Football Team is sponsored by Tamplins, to whom the players are grateful for financial support. The more senior members of the team are also very grateful for the relief provided by Tiger Balm Embrocation.
Faith on the field of play
'When I gave my life to Jesus in 1996,' writes Mike Melville-Reed, 'I was playing regularly for a football team in Brighton. But I found it tough being the only Christian in this side and I often slipped back into my old ways.
'I was about to hang up my boots when my very supportive and understanding wife Victoria persuaded me to play another season, this time for CCK.
'The team were very welcoming, but the thing that really made an impression on me was the fact we prayed before every match, declaring our faith in public. If we did argue with a decision or blow kisses at the opposition’s spectators, someone was always there to remind you of the reason you were playing.
'It’s quite a responsibility playing for this team but it is an enjoyable experience and one I wish I’d done years ago. One thing for sure: whatever our results, CCK has a football team of which it can be proud.
