What's Happening at The Next Step Rec
Drop in Sports
Open to everyone 16+
While they generally require a little previous knowledge of the sport, all skill levels are welcome. If you're brand new to the sport and would like to learn, we can connect you with a member of our team to join you at drop-in. We enjoy sports, competition, and comradery, but everything we do is for the glory of God, and so each night starts with prayer.
Currently we offer drop-ins for: pickleball, basketball, men's 40+ basketball, and volleyball.
Recreation
Our recreation activités range from euchre tournaments and ladies nights, to fall fest and yard game days. We have one-off events every other month or so. We love hosting big events as an opportunity to invite your friends and family and to showcase the love of God through fun and activities.
Fitness
Our fitness activities consist of ongoing classes, pop-up classes, or series. We're always looking for more instructors and more activities, so please reach out if interested! We strive to begin each class with prayer to set us up for the best possible experience.

Cardio Drumming*
