ATHLETICS

Organized athletic programs and teams are available for many sports in age groups beginning at age 5 through adult.  Many special activities and tournaments are scheduled each year.

The purpose of the athletic programs of First United Methodist Church is to teach wholesome attitudes, habits and interests.  Athletics not only develop these traits, but are also able to provide a positive and healthy outlet for adults, youth and children.  Our programs serve as an outreach to the community.  A part of the original philosophy of The Family Life Center was to provide new opportunities to reach and develop our members and our community for the Lord Jesus.  It is very important to minister not only to our congregation but to our community as well.
