About the USCGA

 

The USCGA is an inter-denominational golf ministry that promotes fellowship among Christian golfers, provides relationship-building opportunities to encourage and strengthen the believer, and provides an environment for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with unbelieving golfers.


USCGA History Many churches in America include golf in their recreation programs. Trinity Baptist Church in Southaven, Mississippi was no different. Prior to 1999, the format evolved from playing as a group to a rather informal foursome scramble format that required its teams to complete their rounds by a certain date.


In 1999, the Trinity Baptist Golf League was organized to promote more fellowship by scheduling the entire group to play together on Saturdays. It was a successful church golf league promoting fellowship among its golfing members. In 2002, a new vision for the golf ministry emerged that, not only could provide Christian fellowship, but also could include devotionals and evangelistic messages to encourage its members and foster an atmosphere conducive to bringing others to hear the gospel. In 2003, that vision became a reality when the Trinity Baptist Golf League moved from the local church to become an interdenominational ministry to promote Christian fellowship and evangelism through the game of golf. A new name was required to reflect the new vision and geographical scope of the ministry, and we became the United States Christian Golf Association. Our primary outreach has been to the local churches in the metropolitan area of Memphis, Tennessee, including DeSoto County, Mississippi, but the vision is to establish chapters throughout the United States.
