What Upward is All About
Upward™ is an evangelistic sports ministry dedicated to promoting community outreach, developing volunteer leadership in your church, and sharing the love of Christ with children and their families.
During the 2002-2003 season, Upward involved nearly 200,000 kindergarten through sixth grade boys and girls in about 960 churches across the United States.
Upward Unlimited founder Caz McCaslin shared his passion for reaching lost children/families all in the name of Christ. What an honor it has been to serve with Caz and the thousands of other Upward Servants in reaching out to our local communities. 'It's not the shoes...it's the souls."
Using ever-changing ways to share a never changing message.
Promoting and protecting the mission of Upward Unlimited.
Working together as a unified team to be a first class, organized and detailed evangelistic ministry.
Always viewing conflicts as ministry opportunities.
Reaching beyond denominational and cultural boundaries to encourage Kingdom Growth.
Developing participants to share the love of Christ in and beyond Upward.
The purpose of Upward Basketball is to recognize that Every Child is a Winner™ by promoting:
- Salvation - Share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone involved in an Upward ministry.
- Character - Help every child grow as Jesus did - spiritually, physically, mentally and socially.
- Self-Esteem - Help every child grow in their understanding and enjoyment of sports.
An Upward ministry abounds with opportunities to serve the Lord. If you have a desire to share and model the love of Jesus with children and their families, there is a place to use your God-given abilities.
