What is Upward Basketball?
Upward is a sports ministry for boys and girls in kindergarten
through sixth grade that promotes character and self-esteem,
and, most importantly, connects both children and adults to
Jesus Christ. Currently,
Beautiful Savior
Lutheran Church's league offers basketball.
Upward provides opportunities for volunteers from all walks of life
to become meaningfully involved in the ministry of our church. There are
opportunities to pray for the program, coach a team, referee a game,
share a devotion and develop relationships in order to open avenues of
ministry to the people in our community.
