USCSC MISSION STATEMENT
The USCSC establishes the presence of certified Sport Chaplains whose duty it is to serve the sport community by sharing the love of Jesus through Biblical truth, service and exemplification for the purpose of maximizing their experience in sport and life.
The USCSC certifies Sport Chaplains who are called to nurture and minister through love as directed by Jesus Christ and sought out by the sport community. It is the commitment of the USCSC Sport Chaplain to be open and responsive to the needs of all those in the world of sport; to embrace persons of all faiths as commanded by Christ to love, being all things to all people.
Our Approach
About Us
USCSC is a Christian based not-for-profit organization founded by Dr. Madeline Manning Mims, four-time Olympian, gold and silver medalist in Track. She has volunteered her services as an Olympic chaplain at the last nine Olympiads. Her interest in developing an instructional chaplaincy program at the Olympic and Elite level originated from her involvement as a world-class athlete, and chaplain at the elite level. She has served US teams for the past 33 years in pastoral care among the Multi-Faith and Non-traditional faith community. Her passion is to pass on her knowledge and experience to Olympians and Paralympians called to the field of sport chaplaincy at the elite level.
