Neighborhood Pickup
In each neighborhood, staff host a weekly soccer pickup in the fall & spring that serves not only as time to develop soccer skills, but also to build relationships, work on homework, and share God’s word.

Throughout the year, Lexington Eagles host block parties in each neighborhood. This provides a time to connect with families, play soccer, share the gospel, and have fun.

Bible Studies
In seeking to introduce people to Jesus Christ, teach them to follow Him, and empower them as leaders through the global environment of soccer, Bible studies allow us to go deeper into God’s word with kids.
