OPC Recreation Ministry

The mission of OPC-Sports is to offer Christ-centered character building, self-esteem, skill enhancing instruction, and spiritual nurturing to children and families of our church and community churches. As a sports program we will always strive to increase skill development, game strategy, game rules, and enjoyment of sports.  It is our hope that sports can be Christ-like and competitive with an emphasis on doing one’s best while respecting the coaches, officials, and opponents.If you have personally received Christ, you are forgiven and accepted by God; and there are some excellent reasons why you should be baptized. First of all, Jesus commands us to actively baptize believers in Matthew 28:19. Since He is Lord, and since His will is always good, this should be reason enough. It is a very important act of obedience to the forgiver and leader of your life. Being baptized is also an opportunity for you to spiritually influence others in a positive way.

We are a Developmental League which has certain rules that demand that our focus is on performance rather than winning. Our program is designed to teach sports in a safe way in which each child is given an opportunity to learn skills, increase their knowledge of the game, gain self-confidence and enjoy being part of a team.  Baptism also provides a way to publicly show your faith before others. Non-believing friends and family members usually attend baptism services and are often deeply impacted by the testimonies of those who are making the decision. Christian friends are also built up by this act and are motivated to continue to share the message of Jesus.
