Fight Pastor is a Christian ministry organization led by Pastor Brandon Beals of Canyon Creek Church in Mill Creek, Washington. The ministry provides the mixed martial arts (MMA) community with a wide range of services, including chaplaincy and MMA news from a Christian perspective. HistoryFight Pastor was started by Beals in 2009 as a blog on the Canyon Creek Church website.[1] Beals is an avid MMA fan and decided to start a separate MMA blog at FightPastor.com. Beals was interviewed at UFC 100 by the Las Vegas Review-Journal[2] and soon after Yahoo Sports [3] due to the unusual nature of his work. Shortly thereafter, a handful of other media outlets took notice. Fight Pastor was featured by The New York Times after a reporter stumbled upon Beals' blog and featured it in an article with front page column space.[4] Ministry focusThe main focus of the Fight Pastor ministry outlined as:
The ministry of Fight Pastor has been featured on NBC affiliates in Seattle, WA,[6] Montgomery, Alabama,[7] Fort Myers, FL [8] and Augusta, GA [9] as well as international television stations Canal+ and ARD.[10] The Fight Pastor has also been featured in many newspapers nationally from The Herald (Everett, Washington)[11] to Seattle Post-Intelligencer.[12] The May 2011 issue of Ultimate MMA Magazine features an article called "Religious Firestorm" that discusses the Christian faith in mixed martial arts, and Beals' ministry to provide spiritual direction to fighters.[13] Chaplaincy and fighter sponsorshipAnother purpose of Fight Pastor is to provide a chaplain presence in the MMA community, as well as sponsor fighters. Currently, Fight Pastor sponsors Justin Wren [14] and Demico Rogers [15] who were competitors on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter.
