Activities and Recreation

“Physical fitness has value; spiritual fitness is of unlimited value, for it holds promise for the present life and the life to come.” – 1 Timothy 4:8

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Sports/Recreation Ministry of North Peachtree Baptist Church is to provide opportunities for members and guests to participate in leagues/activities conducted in a Christian setting that enriches their spiritual, mental, social, and physical lives. All of the programs we offer focus on reaching people for Christ, challenging believers for a closer walk with Him, and fellowshipping within the local body. The emphasis of our program is not winning; even though winning is an important aspect in life. The emphasis is on teaching and training the basic skills of each sport, how characteristics and situations in life relate to sport, and how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
