Recreation
The Kirby Woods recreation ministry seeks to provide an opportunity for our members and guests to enjoy sports and other fun activities in a Christian environment. We try to put our athletic teams in Christian leagues. We want to focus on teaching good attitudes and fundamentals. Not only do we have sports,we also try to provide activities that involve the whole family, such as picnics and game nights.
Men's Softball
We are pleased to offer men’s softball. Teams will play during the summer in the City of Germantown church league. Teams will usually play on Thursday evening at Houston Levee Park. Sign ups will be in the spring.
Basketball
Children and Youth: The ESCRA (East Shelby County Recreation Association) program is for children and youth grades 1-12. Registration begins in October and ends early November. Practices will start in November, and games begin in January. The season will run until February. Games are played on Saturdays with an occasional week night game. All teams are determined by age.

Karate
We are excited to offer Karate at Kirby Woods! Robert Blackstone is our instructor. Not only is Robert teaching karate, he is presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ and as a result has seen many professions of faith. The classes are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays with beginners at 6pm and advanced students immediately afterward. All classes are held in the Fellowship Hall.
