The MET is launching a sports ministry to share Christ with the children and families in the community. Our first program offering will be soccer. We will use an age-specific curriculum designed for boys and girls 4-12 years old to develop the child spiritually, mentally, athletically, and socially.
Why sports? This is a seasonal offering that allows for the greatest number of ministry touchpoints with coaches, players, and families, opening the doors to build strong relationships within our community.
