Upward 08' Volunteers needed

Upward Basketball & Cheerleading: 

 Come and be a part of our Upward Team.  Upward is not just a sports league.  It is a sports ministry!  The purpose of Upward Sports Ministries is to fulfill God’s vision that he planned long ago by promoting: 

 Salvation – The love of Jesus will be shared with everyone involved in Upward.       

Character – We will help the children grow as Jesus did – spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially.   

Self-Esteem – Every child will be encouraged to grow in their understanding and enjoyment of sports.

We have a place for you! 

 Directors, coaches, assistant coaches, referees, time keepers, concession workers, and prayer partners are needed.  See Ron Pouliot to volunteer.

Pastor Ron's Testimony online

How does a Sicilian kid from Detroit, Michigan, raised as a Catholic, end up as a Southern Baptist minister of a dynamic church on the edge of the Bible belt? Recently Pastor Ron had the opportunity to share his testimony.  It was recorded and is presented here to demonstrate how the powerful hand of God can work in all our lives.
