Location: Ben Hill Christian Church, 4099 Sunset Dr. SW, Atlanta, GA 30331

About the Camp
This winter, Ben Hill Christian Church invites families to join our Faith & Family Fundamentals Basketball & Cheerleading Camp. This hands-on, family-focused experience builds both skills and character.
Unlike a traditional sports league centered on competition, this camp focuses on:
  • Skill development for youth and adults
  • Non-competitive, family-friendly scrimmages
  • Playtime for every athlete
  • Character and faith development grounded in Christian values
This program is designed for youth in kindergarten through 5th Grade and requires the participation of a parent or guardian. Together, families will grow in skill, teamwork, and faith.

Why a Camp (Not a League)?
At younger ages, sports should focus on learning the fundamentals, not the scoreboard.
Competitive leagues often emphasize wins and losses, leaving some children overlooked. Our camp takes a different approach: every child learns, plays, and grows.
When kids experience success through growth and encouragement, they develop a lifelong love for both the game and the values it teaches — teamwork, respect, perseverance, and faith.

Why Ben Hill Christian Church?
For over 70 years, Ben Hill Christian Church has faithfully served the Atlanta community through ministries that strengthen families and nurture youth.
With more than 20 years of experience leading youth sports — including T-Ball, Youth Baseball, and Upward Basketball & Cheerleading — we combine excellent instruction with Christian character-building to help children shine both in sports and in life.

Basketball Program

At every practice, a Christian value such as teamwork, respect, or perseverance will be introduced and discussed — connecting athletic growth to spiritual growth.

Our Mission: Shining On and Off the Court
At Ben Hill Christian Church, our mission is to build spiritual confidence and family unity through Christ-centered programs.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23
We aim to empower every child and parent to shine both on and off the court, learning that true victory is found in faith, effort, and love for one another.
