Providing opportunities for people to develop relationships, grow friendships, and strengthen one another in life and faith as we participate in our favorite sports, hobbies and other forms of recreation and athletics. First Presbyterian’s Recreation Ministry strives to be a family affair. It is with this in mind that we hope everyone in your family will find opportunity for activity and fellowship. 

It is our purpose to provide a program for youth and adults that will attract people from the surrounding community and provide them with a warm and welcome introduction to the church, encourage church members and attendees to reach out to friends, family, and neighbors by inviting them to participate, and create an environment that is conducive to building relationships, discipleship, and fellowship.

First Pres hosts an annual fall golf tournament, The Jimmy, named after Jimmy Easterby, the former Director of the Sports Ministry. Jimmy had a passion for using sports to bring people together and ultimately bring them to Christ. To honor his legacy, we organize a fellowship meal and invite a speaker to give a gospel-centered speech each year before the tournament play.  This year, The Jimmy will be take place on Friday, October 25.

We host at least two annual events to engage in sports with our Friendship Club. The Special Needs March Madness is held annually in the Spring and includes a variety of activities our friends can engage in, lunch, and a devotional time. The Special Needs Basketball Bonanza is held in the Fall and includes basketball skill instruction and short games. 

This group is for anyone interested in playing Pickleball at First Pres. Recreational fun for all ages! All participants must register before playing their first time to join the GroupMe.
