Bible Study Testimonials
Travis Jarome
Associate AD/Public Relations & Sports Media,
Jackson State University
The entire study was awesome, getting a chance to dive into the word and develop new friendships with believers and followers of Christ."
Marie Milanowski
Baseball Data Engineer,
Miwaukee Brewers
"I really enjoyed the community that was gained from the [Bible Study] and the time that we spent getting to know each other and just supporting one another in our everyday lives."
We will send you a confirmation email to confirm your registration. Then, we'll contact you to confirm your weekly meeting time and provide you with links to your study.
We are excited to offer these virtual opportunities as we understand that the transient nature and irregular time demands of working in sports may make it very difficult for you to join an in-person group.
Please note, however, that we strongly encourage you to prioritize gathering in person through your local church or with a local body of believers if and when you can.

Hundreds of colleges and over half of all professional sports teams donate their used and excess gear to our warehouse.

Is there a difference between Managers On A Mission and USG?There is only one key difference between Managers On A Mission and USG! We previously made our mission trips the way of passage for becoming a member. However, USG's format for becoming a member is our USG Academy. Why? We realized that not everyone can complete a 2-4 week mission trip and we wanted to make sure more young sport industry professionals had access to our opportunities and resources.
You are always welcome to contact us with any questions or ideas.
We hope to speak with you soon!
