Good to know before you go
- Families who prefer a purely secular environment for children's sports and recreation.
- Individuals or families who are uncomfortable with a venue that has a reported history of calling police on 'strangers' or who value a universally open-door policy without such incidents.
- If your primary concern is solely high-performance, competitive sports without the spiritual component.
- One review explicitly states the church called the police on 'strangers,' which could be a deterrent for public access or a concern for general welcoming policy. This directly contradicts the 'welcoming arms to the public' sentiment from other reviews.
- Accessibility
- No specific accommodations mentioned.

What parents say
"This church call to police on strangers. even though the bible teach us to love strangers rather than familiar. Matthew 18:6 KJV - 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
