Recreation Ministry
Sports and Recreation are one of the many ways we build COMMUNITY as a church body. Our mission is for church
members and their guests to connect using wholesome recreational activities. Sports are a great tool for outreach
and in-reach. We strive to reach our community through a welcoming atmosphere to the church and to unify the
church from within.
