Spotlighting Sparta

06/03/2026

We understand that some people in our community were upset about having ballgames on a church night, and we sincerely respect those feelings. Our goal has never been to take away from the importance of worship or time spent with God. Sometimes we have to work with the schedule we are given, and we want to make the best of it while keeping faith at the center of all we do.

We believe that God is with us wherever we gather in His name, and we would love for our community to join us this Wednesday evening for special night of faith and fellowship at the ballfields. We are very thankful to Life Church - Sparta Campus and Golden Mtn Ministries for coming together to help make this possible.

Join us at the County Recreation Complex for “Angels in the Outfield”, this Wednesday Night at 5:00pm with praise & worship and a devotional then ballgames following. We hope this will be an opportunity for our community to come together, encourage one another, and celebrate both our faith and our fellowship.

Please share this post & help us get the word out to all of White County!
