Recreation & Fitness Ministry
Mission: To be a point of entry and connection to our community, while promoting Christian relationships and attitudes through recreation and fitness.
The ROCK is where fitness, fun and outreach all come together! The Recreation Ministry at First Baptist Smyrna has an exciting schedule of events year-round. With a wide variety of sport and fitness related opportunities offered, there is sure to be a league, team, or class you will want to be a part of.
We believe that recreation is a great tool to introduce others to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of the ways we do this is to maintain a Christ-like atmosphere, promote good sportsmanship, help others improve overall physical health, enhance relationships among families and, of course, take every opportunity to share with them the love of Christ.
Paul the Apostle wrote: “Physical fitness has value; spiritual fitness is of unlimited value, for it holds promise for the present life and the life to come.”

Upward Sports
Upward Sports is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically
designed for kindergarten through eighth grade boys and girls that
promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in every child.
In Upward Sports, our goal is to help our children grow and develop
in all areas: physical, emotional, and spiritual. In many sports and
recreation programs, winning is emphasized as the priority objective.
In Upward Sports, we place emphasis on building character qualities
like best effort, sportsmanship, leadership, and above all, Christ-likeness.
The development of these character qualities, coupled with skills
development, results in a sports ministry that benefits the whole
child. This focus in no way diminishes the competition. In fact, it
enhances and stimulates it, all in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
The Upward Sports Ministry of First Baptist Smyrna offers cheerleading,
basketball, flag football, softball, t-ball leagues. Upward Sports
provides opportunities for the members of our church, and the community
at large, no matter what denomination, to become meaningfully involved
in the sports ministry of First Baptist Smyrna. These opportunities
include coaching or assistant coaching, becoming a commissioner, a
prayer partner, a concession worker, and much more.
Come participate with us, and help us make Every Child a Winner! REGISTER
