Men's basketball is an outreach and discipleship ministry. Our league is designed to provide an opportunity to play recreational basketball in a setting where Christ is the focus, and spiritual development is the goal. Behavior becoming Christ-followers is expected.

Ages 18+. Men must be 18 years of age by the start of the season.

Teams can have up to five (5) requests. We will fill the rest of the team with other players.

Each team plays one game per week. Games are played on Thursdays at 6:00, 7:00 & 8:00 PM. (The gym will be open at 5:00 PM for warm-ups prior to the first game.)

A devotion will be shared each week in between the 6:00 & 7:00 PM games.

The season concludes with a tournament.
