What we do...
Our Mission.
Uptime Outreach exists to seek and save the lost for Jesus Christ.
Uptime Volleyball
One area we have found successful is teaching others how to reach up to God and reach out to others through the game of volleyball. We host clinics, camps and even have teams that compete throughout the year. Please let us know if you would like more information UptimeVolleyball@gmail.com
How We Reach Out?
We follow a simple methodology and acronym (every coach needs a good acronym). It is simply keep our eyes on the B.A.L.L.. Begin conversations, Ask questions, Listen, and Lead to Christ. We simply follow what Jesus proclaimed 2000 years ago, “GO into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation”(Mark 16:15). It’s GO time at Uptime Outreach!
