Upward Ministry
The vision of the Upward Ministry is to submit to God's authority, change generations thru sports ministry and recognize that Every Child Is A Winner!
Upward promotes:
1) Salvation by sharing the love of Jesus Christ with everyone involved in the ministry
2) Character by helping every child grow as Jesus did - spiritually, physically, mentally and socially
