Participation Community

Participation Community
The Athletics ministry is one of the few ministries where membership to the church is not required. We are therefore open to children of all ages to participate with us. Thus, we are the Community of Participation.

About the Community
In our community, we oversee the youth athletic programs offered through the church. Some are intramural while others are involved in league play around the city. Regardless of the nature of competition, a bible study component is encouraged amongst the teams.
