WHAT IS THE  CANADIAN CHRISTIAN RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION

WHO ARE WE?

The Canadian Christian Recreational Association (CCRA) is a faith-centered organization dedicated to bringing churches and communities together through recreation, fellowship, and service. We believe that sports, retreats, and shared experiences can strengthen relationships within the body of Christ. Our programs create environments where individuals of all ages can connect, grow in faith, and build meaningful friendships. Through recreation, we seek to foster unity among believers while reflecting the love and character of Christ in all we do

CCRA stands for faith, fellowship, community, and Christ-centered leadership. We believe recreation can be a powerful tool for building relationships, encouraging spiritual growth, and strengthening unity within the Christian community. Our programs promote sportsmanship, integrity, and service while creating opportunities for churches to collaborate and support one another. Everything we do is guided by biblical principles and a commitment to honoring Christ in our actions and interactions.
