Calling For Christ

We are a ministry of professional umpires whose desire is to glorify Jesus Christ. In addition, we provide each other with encouragement and support.

Our goal is to encourage both current and former professional umpires as they strive to become men of God. We want to help them to grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our activities include spring training outreach events, an annual bible study retreat, and visitations from our Pastor throughout the baseball season. Calling For Christ is a ministry run by umpires for umpires.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever."

“The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us. ”
― A.W. Tozer
