Pelahatchie Baptist Church offers Soccer for young students

By Guest Columnist Spencer Sullivan, Pastor, Pelahatchie Baptist

Pelahatchie Baptist Church just finished their 2025 soccer season. The league has 108 players, ages 4-12, competing in four different age groups. There were 13 teams overall that competed against one another. The teams practiced on weeknights, while the games were played each Saturday morning from February 22 – March 29. During their weekly practice times, the teams were led in devotions from the Bible.

This year’s theme was the Greatest Commandment, found in Mark 12:28-31: “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

We are grateful for another great season and look forward to 2026. PBC will start soccer registration for 2026 in January.
