Mt. Harmony Baptist Church
Upward Basketball & Cheerleading
General Information

Mt. Harmony Baptist Church is excited about our Upward Program and we enjoyed having your children join us this past Winter as we added Basketball and Cheerleading for the first time.  

We had a wonderful season with 127 kids participating on 14 basketball teams and 6 cheerleading squads.  Thanks to all the players, parents, and coaches for a great inagural season.   The end of Season Upward Awards Celebration was held on Sunday, February 15th followed by a churchwide Fellowship for Upward families. 

The 2009-2010 basketball and cheerleading season will kick off with registration in September.  Practices will begin in November and games will begin in December with breaks for Christmas and New Years.
