Being rooted in the Gospel is both essential and central to disciples of Jesus Christ (and healthy churches). POP aims to partner with local churches to form meaningful connections relationally using the vehicle of Pickleball. POP introduces game of Pickleball by providing high-level coaching and encouragement for those new to pickleball, beginners, intermediates, and advanced players. Our prayer is for this ministry to form authentic connections that enable us to share the Gospel. Salt must touch meat to influence taste. Likewise, disciples of Jesus Christ must engage the people of our cities in genuine ways. Thus, Pickleball Outreach Partnership is a way to partner together to participate in the Great Commission.
