The Upward Sports website says its mission is “promoting the discovery of Jesus through sports.” Upward Sports partners with churches across the country to help leverage “the power of sports to achieve and increase the impact of their mission.” Sandia Presbyterian Church was chartered in 1990 using Dennis Chavez Elementary School as its temporary home until groundbreaking took place at the current 10704 Paseo del Norte location in 1992.
