Run/Walk Ministry

We are currently looking for walking group leaders. Feel free to start you own walking group! Just 5 1/4 laps around the worship center equals a mile! Contact Wes Lecroy at 678.494.2923 for more information.

We’re Looking For Runners, Joggers & Walkers!

• Do you run, jog or walk?
• Are you interested in meeting with others to walk or run?
• Are you interested in beginning an exercise program?
• Do you want to train for and run your first 5K or your first marathon?

If you answered, “Yes!” to any of these questions, read on...

We’re developing an exciting new ministry at First Baptist Church of Woodstock and we want you to participate. We’re organizing runners, joggers, and walkers throughout the church with two purposes in mind:

• To win the lost to Christ;
• To promote a healthier lifestyle among church members.

In order to reach these goals, we want to develop a ministry that:

• Allows runners and walkers to meet, train, and fellowship together in a non-threatening environment;
• Encourages individuals that currently exercise to set new goals and helps them achieve them;
• Offers programs for those who want to begin an exercise program of running and walking;
• Provides fellowship opportunities for members;
• In all circumstances, demonstrates not only our commitment to exercise but more importantly our commitment to Jesus Christ.

To accomplish these objectives, we are considering the following programs/events:

• Saturday morning training runs
• Weekday morning runs/walks for stay-at-home moms
• Beginning runner training programs
• Weekly track workouts
• Group trips to races
• Monthly newsletter
• Church-sponsored road race

We’re currently in the initial phase of organizing our ministry. If you’re interested in helping us get this ministry off of the ground, we have plenty of ways for you to participate.

If you can’t help in organizing the ministry, we still want you to participate in our programs. Just fill out the printable Information form and return it to the Wellness and Recreation Office or email your information to Jeff Horne or Wes Lecroy.
