Welcome to the Activity and Recreation Ministry of First Baptist Church, Garland.  We are excited to offer activities and programs to our church family as well as reaching out and involving our community in recreation and sports.  We want the McDonald Activity Center to be family-friendly and a place where everyone feels welcome.  Our mission is to share the love of Jesus through all that we do.  If you have any questions about upcoming events or activities please contact me.

Spring Break Family Retreat
March 13-16, 2010
Pine Cove Retreat Center

We had such a wonderful time on the family retreat!  We took 68 people which was 17 families to the beautiful Pine Cove Retreat Center outside of Tyler.  It was a great time of fun, fellowship and getting to know new friends. 

We are planning to return to Pine Cove in 2011 and hope that you and your family will join us!  The dates for the retreat in 2011 will be March 12-15.  We will begin signing up for the retreat in November.  Watch the church publications for more details.

First Baptist Church Garland has been offering Upward Sports programs for the past 10 years. It has been a blessing to see the positive impact these programs have had on families in our community. The fundamental principle in Upward Sports is summarized by the following statement: Today's sports culture has created a "win at all cost" mentality. However, Upward defines winning as learning and/or teaching lessons in the game of life. The emphasis is placed on having fun and good sportsmanship.
