Get ready for a day of fun, fellowship, and friendly competition as Galloway hosts the Methodist Paddle Battle, a community pickleball tournament bringing together United Methodist churches from across the area! Whether you're a seasoned pickleball pro, a weekend warrior, or someone who has never picked up a paddle before, all skill levels are welcome. This event isn't just about winning matches—it's about building relationships, sharing laughter, and celebrating the gift of Christian community. Throughout the day, our Galloway family will gather for more than just pickleball. Bring your lawn chairs and settle in for a festive street-party atmosphere complete with:
Friendly pickleball competition
Delicious BBQ and cookout favorites grilled by our Methodist Men
Live music from our Bluegrass Band
Fellowship with friends old and new
Plenty of cheering, laughter, and community spirit
At Galloway, we believe that some of the best ministry happens around tables, on courts, and in conversations between friends. The Methodist Paddle Battle is an opportunity to connect with neighboring churches, strengthen existing friendships, and make new ones while enjoying a great day together. So grab your paddle, invite a friend, pack your lawn chair, and come support your Galloway family. Whether you're playing, cheering, eating BBQ, or simply enjoying the music, there's a place for everyone.
Registration is now open! Sign up today ($25 suggested registration fee) and join us for a memorable day of fellowship, food, faith, and fun. All Proceeds will go to “Extra Table” to provide 10,000 meals for the food-insecure in our area.
