Let’s get moving! Recreation is a great way to enjoy fellowship with your neighbors. We realize that we are blessed with wonderful facilities at First Baptist Church and want to share them with our neighbors and friends. Whether you enjoy a fun game of pickleball or prefer to take in a springtime ballgame at City Stadium, we facilitate it all. So we hope you will check out the fun and join us!
