Upward is a sports ministry specifically designed for kindergarten through eighth grade boys and girls that promotes the love of Jesus, character building self-esteem in every child. With only one game and one practice each week, Upward allows your child to gain valuable teamwork and sporting skills, while not consuming your family’s already hectic schedule. Upward sports ministries does not focus as much on keeping score as it promotes that Every Child is a Winner.  What make Upward so unique?

• Children practice one night a week for an hour.
• All games are played on Saturdays.
• Children will do a short devotion during each practice to help kids and coaches build lasting relationships while learning more about our amazing God and how much He loves us!
• We pray before the start of each game and are lead in a meaningful devotion at halftime.
