Mission/Goal: Empower is a fitness-based mission that utilizes movement as a means to support those with physical needs in our area.
This ministry will offer various physical activities including exercise classes, fun runs, and more to raise money and awareness for those with a medical or physical need in our area. All proceeds that are collected will be donated to a local person, family or group in need. We will empower others to move through our own movement.
Kick-off session: Empower will kick off on September 1, 2022 with an 8-week long fitness class that will occur every Thursday from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. This class is co-ed and open to adults and older children if accompanied by an adult.
The class will be a circuit-style workout that combines functional movement, free weights, and cardiovascular exercises to provide a full body, medium intensity class each week. Empower will encourage physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing all week long.
Cost:
- Adults - $50 per 8-week session.
- Enrollment will include a free “Empower” t-shirt.
- All funds collected will be 100% donated
- We will also collect donations for anyone who feels led to donate above the registration fee
Charity: New Danville in Willis, TX.
New Danville is an organization the provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities an opportunity to live enriched and purposeful lives. These adults are provided with a place to live, learn, work and grow in communities of their choice. Each day the “Wranglers” have two 1-hour sessions where they participate in some form of exercise. Most of the residents participate in a mile walk, however there are some that cannot due to physical disabilities.
Empower will be partnering with New Danville to start/improve a “sit and be fit” style option for those Wranglers.
They are in need of various equipment to support all their residents' physical needs and we are blessed to be a part of that.
We can use our movement to help others have the same opportunity each day.
