Recreation Verse

1 Timothy 4:8

 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Mission

Leading people to follow Christ through recreation.

Vision

To lead people to follow Christ by ministering and discipling the players and families of the Hopewell community.

Philosophy

The purpose of the Hopewell Recreation Ministry is to assist the athletes in growing physically, mentally and spiritually through athletic competition. We believe athletics can be a valuable tool in leading people to follow Christ by emphasizing spiritual teaching and coaching, Christ-like sportsmanship, and glorifying God over self.

         
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)

       
Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. (2 Timothy 2:5)

       
Not to us, Lord, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. (Psalm 115:1)
