Our Vision, Mission, and Values

For over 20 years Combined Faith (CF) Christian Sports Evangelism Ministry has been using sports and leadership development to impact and change the lives of young people across Barbados. The organisation has worked with schools, churches, sports clubs and community-based groups to deliver high quality coaching and training to ensure the all-round development of athletes and coaches. 

CF was officially launched in May 2000 through the vision of founder Mr. Dean A. Squires born out of his passion for God, love for basketball and people empowerment. Recognising that the church had lost its appeal and influence among Youth who were facing several social problems, Dean and his team sought to reach out to this target group using a universal language that has taught many life skills and provided many opportunities for youth; sports! 

Combined Faith targets young people primarily between the ages of 13-16 years old through in-school and community programming. Some of the youth come from disadvantaged homes and often experience various issues including anger management, neglect, abandonment, poor grades in school and negative peer pressure. Over its 20-year existence the organisation has impacted over 10 000 young people and has successfully worked across several secondary and primary schools in Barbados and several at-risk communities. Many of CF’s programmes have been sports focused including basketball, football, netball and more recently road tennis.
