Redeemer Sports Ministry exists to enhance RBC’s Mission Statement to “know, love and serve Jesus,” by developing outreach leagues/events in sports and recreation for men and women (and, in time, youth).  The Sports Ministry has four specific goals … 1.  Cultivate fellowship within the body of Christ, and initiate relationships with unchurched/unsaved people;  2.  Create evangelistic opportunity that would incorporate personal testimony and the sharing of the gospel;  3.  Contribute to the discipleship journey of the believer;  4.  Assimilate participants into the body life of Redeemer – and engage them in service to the church. 

Redeemer Sports Ministry is excited to launch Higher Ground, a free five-hike series for families, friends, neighbors, and the unchurched. Each hike is a chance to walk with Jesus and with one another; see His handiwork in the Arizona desert, and build community with our church family and the friends we invite along.Every hike opens in prayer and comes with a printable devotional featuring a verse, a short reflection, a drive-home question, Arizona nature facts, and a scavenger hunt to keep the hike centered on Christ and connection. Come to one hike or all five, and bring a friend!

Would you like to improve your overall fitness, and increase strength and stamina? Ladies’ Functional Fitness will use circuit training with weights – meaning you will work on major muscle groups moving from one group to another (i.e. in a circuit). Competent instructors will be there to help you create your individual program to increase your fitness level. As all Sports Ministry activities, this will be a time of perspiration and inspiration as we seek to grow physically and spiritually. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE THAT UNCHURCHED NEIGHBOR OR FRIEND.

The class will meet in Room 209/210 on the fourth Saturday of the month. Contact lindyMcdonald2011@gmail.com for more information. Please register so we can plan for equipment needs. There will be no classes in October, November or December.
