Developing great players, for an even greater purpose!
Baseball country offers every baseball player the facilities, the tools, and the training to excel.
Since 1995 Baseball Country has been a Gospel centered ministry that primarily used the game of baseball, to share the Gospel through team and individual camps for young players and coaches. Over the past several years the ministry has expanded its impact well beyond the diamond! We still provide youth camps in the summer and high school and team development camps throughout the year, but the Lord has opened doors in Greene & Pickens County on a continual basis to minister through service projects, outreach events and weekly discipleship. Along with the renovation of our MLB size field, brand new softball field with lights and stadium seating, an indoor training facility that can house 60, Papi’s Cabin which sleeps 40 and our Chow Hall that feeds 120, we have endless opportunities!
Another expansion to the ministry is Creator’s Outpost, an outdoor ministry that uses1600 acres of land in Pickens Co. We’ve partnered with Westervelt to offer a youth mentorship program as well as offer various types of hunting opportunities for disabled, veterans, parent/child and more!
We also host missions teams that come along side of us to share the love of Christ through various service projects; from painting and pressure washing, to enhancing parks and landscape in towns that are in desperate need. We also conduct youth sports camps and VBS in places like Eutaw and Aliceville.
After a few appearances in local softball travel tournaments it was obvious that there was an incredible need speak life into both players and parents. In the spring of 2021, Softball Country was birthed and has become a huge part of our ministry! We currently have 6 teams from 10u through 16u competing at a high level. While championships are always fun, that is not and never will be our focal point. The development of our players on the field is a huge priority, but even more serious than that is our investment in their lives spiritually as well as their families.
Since January 2021, we have hosted Mens Night here on the second Tuesday of each month. These nights consist of a free ribeye dinner, live worship and challenging Word brought from various men. We typically have between 60-90 men at these gatherings that are from various churches throughout Tuscaloosa and Greene county as well as many men that are unchurched.
Throughout the year, we also host various types of retreats, like father/son, coaches, pro players, men/women’s retreats.
