Upward Sports Ministry

Upward is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically designed for 4 years old through sixth grade boys and girls that promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in every child. We currently offer basketball and cheerleading in this ministry.  The season runs from January to March, with a one hour practice each week and games on Saturday mornings. Upward provides opportunities for all children to learn, play, and have a positive sports experience.  Our church members saturate this program in prayer, praying for each player, coach, referee, and all families involved.  Register your child for this season and see the difference Upward can make!

The vision and mission of Upward is to introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports.

The Expectation of God-Moments
We believe that God is at work all around us.

We believe that how we live is more important than what we say.
Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The Discipline of Excellence
We believe in serving that exceeds expectations.
Colossians 3:17 - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
