Empowering Youth Through Faith and Sports: The Mission of Tab Recreation

At Tab Recreation, we believe in the power of sports to not only shape athletes but to strengthen hearts and souls. Our Christ-centered program focuses on building meaningful relationships with youth through the exciting and challenging world of sports.

A cornerstone of our program is prayer, which remains an essential part of every game, practice, and team gathering. As seen in the photo below, we gather in prayer to center ourselves, seek guidance, and encourage one another in our faith. Whether before games, during practice, or in small group settings, we are committed to creating a spiritual environment where faith and sports intersect.

Aligning with the Vision of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church

In 2016, Tabernacle Presbyterian Church released a Vision Renewal document that set a bold direction for the church and its ministries. This document highlights three guiding pillars that focus on:

• Greater Faith
• Deeper Relationships
• A Strong Community

These principles resonate deeply with the mission of Tab Recreation. As a program, we are passionate about not only encouraging athleticism but also about guiding our youth in their faith journey. By playing sports, young athletes develop character, teamwork, and perseverance—qualities that reflect the strength of their growing faith in God.
