Karate Ministry (Adults’ Session)

We are beginning a karate ministry on Saturdays to better connect with our community and continue on the path toward bettering ourselves. Led by Pat McGill in Hope UMC’s fellowship hall, we will have two classes each Saturday geared toward children (beginning at 10 a.m.) and adults (beginning at 11 a.m.). Everyone is welcome to join, no matter your skill level.

What is karate ministry?
Despite the perception of karate as being about self-defense and fighting, karate ministry is a holistic practice focused on building self-discipline, social skills, self-confidence, and health. For advanced members, it can be a form of meditation and prayer.
