UPWARD Sports Ministry
Upward is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically designed for kindergarten through sixth grade boys and girls that promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in every child.  Paramount Baptist offers cheerleading, flag football, and basketball programs to complete its Upward ministry.  Upward provides opportunities for all believers, no matter what denomination, to become meaningfully involved in the ministries of their church.  You will have the opportunity to pray for your program, coach a team, referee a game, share a devotion, and develop relationships in order to open avenues of ministry to the people of our community who will participate in Upward.

Mission of Upward
To introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports.

The Priority of Children
We believe that Every Child Is A Winner.

The Expectation of God-Moments
We believe that God is at work all around us.
Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The Discipline of Excellence
We believe in serving that exceeds expectations.
Colossians 3:17 - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The Life of Integrity
We believe that how we live is more important than what we say.
Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
