Slo-Pitch
The Church Slo-Pitch league has been in operation since 1998, and is for those “wishing to have fun in an atmosphere that teams could bring our un-churched
friends to.”
Teams include both men and women. The spring season began April 18, and playoffs
are scheduled July 17 – 19.
There are two conferences. In Conference 1, the top six teams make the Division
A playoffs, and the bottom six teams make the Division B playoffs. In
Conference 2, the top eight teams make the C division playoffs, and the bottom
six teams make the D division playoffs.

B.C. Christian Soccer League
This men’s soccer league has been in operation since the 1970s and has four divisions
(Premier, First, Second and Third), playing from early April till late June.
Its purpose is to glorify God, to permit members to enjoy playing soccer, to
promote friendships within each church team, to promote inter-church fellowship
and unity, and to encourage members to be witnesses of Christ. Each team is
allowed up to three players who do not attend church.
