📣 Important Update About Upward Basketball & Cheer

After much discussion and prayer, our church council has decided to take a one-year break from hosting Upward Basketball and Cheer for the 2025–2026 season.

This was not an easy decision, but we believe it’s the right step for this season. We wanted to share this with our community so families can plan accordingly.

🙏 Our hope and intention is to return for the 2026–2027 season, and we look forward to once again providing a great experience for all the kids and families who participate.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
