Upward is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically designed for kindergarten through sixth grade boys and girls that promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in every child.

Upward is a parachurch organization which currently partners with churches in over 40 denominations to share the gospel with children and their families. All churches entering into a partnership with Upward are required to sign a Ministry Agreement which includes the following:

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, Word of God. 
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 
  4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. 
  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 
  6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment. 
  7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
