Our Mission
Welcome to the website of Healing Place Athletics, a ministry of Healing Place Church. Healing Place Athletics began in 2001 as an outreach to the local community of Baton Rouge. It now houses baseball, softball, and soccer programs for kids. Every aspect of our program is designed with one goal in mind; to point people in the direction of Jesus.
Values
To create an environment for children to know and experience Jesus, along with growing in their knowledge and skill of any given sport.
Spiritual Development
Teach players how we are to live a life pleasing God.
Colossians 1:10 NLT – Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
· Practice and Game Devotions
· Teach discipline
· Coach and leader influence
Skill Development
Teach players to work hard to be their best, because that is what God asks of us.
Colossians 3:23 NIV – Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men

Who we are
You can EXPECT, FROM US, that we will be timely in our communication and do our very best to provide a positive and encouraging atmosphere for you.
Our primary role as staff and leaders of HP Athletics is to protect the atmosphere and environment of the leagues and to make sure we are fulfilling the mission of HP Athletics.
Sports Offered
We currently offer the following programs.
Youth
Baseball, softball, t-ball, and soccer
Adults
Softball, basketball, volleyball, kickball, pickle ball, and tennis tournaments held periodically throughout the year
Our Adult Sporting Events offer the opportunity for individuals to connect with one another in a non-threatening environment. There are some people who may never want to come to church, but will play a day of softball or spend an evening shooting hoops with friends. These individuals are met on their terms in an environment that they can relate to. In turn, friendships are forged and we’ve seen lives changed, due to the athletic opportunities presented here at Healing Place Church.
