Recreation Ministry
Our Recreation Ministry’s main priority is to open the doors of our activity center
and share God’s love with those who participate. Our Core Mission is to Learn,
Play, and Pray. We also strive to teach the fundamentals of various sports
allowing youth to develop their own personal interests. We hope that everyone
touched by our ministry has fun, develops friendships, learns skills, but more
importantly, experiences the love of Jesus Christ. We want to make an impact in
our community in everything we do!
We are in the process of re-tooling our recreation ministry programming! We are very excited in what the futures holds for this particular ministry. Please return to this webpage for future updates this fall on this ministry hopefully to begin programming in Winter 2026.
For more information on how to get your children involved in our Recreation Ministry, please contact the church office at 704-739-2471.
