Practice dates and times will be set once school starts and we have an idea of scheduling.

Then on August 15, we celebrate Promotion Sunday as well as Commissioning Sunday.
Strengthen the Church: Come Welcome Upward Families
We have an opportunity on August 28 to live out our mission to be “a community of generosity and love” to members of our community. That day our church will host many, many families as they bring their children and youth to begin their season with Upward Basketball. So why not do our part to help make their experience on our campus a fantastic one?!
