The Sports and Recreation ministry at St. Paul Lutheran Church (SPLC) is rooted in our belief that all areas of life are sacred and everything we do must be under the Lordship of Christ (Colossians 3:17-23).

The Sports and Recreation Ministry of SPLC gives the whole family opportunities for health, fitness, friendship, fun, competition, venue for outreach, and spiritual development in an inviting a Christ-centered atmosphere.

Listed below are some of the initial steps toward fulfilling our belief and vision. Equipment for the games listed here, and others, are available at the church.
