The local youth and sports ministry charity PSALMS, has changed its official name. Set up in 2005 to work with churches in the Stroud and Painswick areas to provide sporting activities and clubs for their communities, the charity was originally registered as “Painswick and Stroud Area Local Ministries”. Inevitably it has become more widely known by its acronym: PSALMS.
PSALMS has grown significantly over the past 12 years and now provides regular sporting activities for youth and schools in new places including Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Chalford and Kemble.
In partnership with the Diocese of Gloucester (as part of their LIFE vision) and national charity Scripture Union, PSALMS are now developing Sports Ministry in partnership with local churches across Gloucestershire. Therefore our name has changed to “Putting Sport Alongside Local Ministries”
PSALMS’ Director of Sports Ministry, Rob French, said: “Whilst we continue to work in close partnership with churches in the Stroud area, we are seeking to promote the benefits of Sports Ministry right across the county as a good way in which all churches can serve their communities. The change of name reflects that dual emphasis in our work.”
