Sports ministry at Calvary exists to connect people to Christ through sports by fostering authentic relationships, encouraging spiritual growth, and promoting healthy competition. Our goal is to create a place where people can encounter God’s love, build lasting community, and live out their faith both in the game and in life.
These are opportunities currently available. Check back through out the year as we add additional activities.

Upward Sports
We’re excited to launch Upward Sports, offering basketball and cheer for kids in our community. The season will provide a fun and encouraging environment where kids can grow in their athletic skills, build lasting friendships, and most importantly, discover how faith and sports work hand in hand. Whether on the court or the sidelines, every moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and experience the love of Jesus in a new way.
Our Upward Basketball & Cheer league is open to boys and girls in 1st – 4th grades
All participants must attend the following evaluations to help us build balanced teams:

CYCLING
Coming This Spring – we’re excited to offer Cycling. Whether you’re looking for casual fun rides with friends or interested in training for a bigger challenge, there will be a place for you. One group will prepare and ride together in RAGBRAI 2026, while others will enjoy shorter local rides at a more relaxed pace. Cycling is a great way to connect with others, grow in community, and experience God’s creation along the journey. More details about our cycling opportunities will be shared soon!
Pickleball
Pickleball brings adults (college age and up) together for friendly doubles play in a relaxed, encouraging environment. Whether you’re brand new to the game or a seasoned player, you’ll find a welcoming community and plenty of laughs along the way.
Bring your paddle, water, and a great attitude—extra paddles are available if you need one.
Our next session begins in late spring.
