Joe Perry Sports Complex

The Legacy

One of our goals at Prestonwood was to establish the most effective and evangelistic sports program possible. We needed a servant leader to direct this outreach to our community—someone with a heart for God, a love for the church and community, and a call to sports ministry.

In May 1999, God gave us that man in Joe Perry. With a business and church leadership background, Joe began building our Prestonwood Sports Organization. It became the first ministry of its kind in America. Thousands of boys and girls and their families were reached with the message of the Gospel and developed as followers of Jesus. Coaches and leaders were discipled. Twenty years later, PSO continues to accomplish its mission of utilizing sports to fulfill the mission of our church.

Joe Perry passed away in 2018. We are forever grateful for the eternal difference he made for Christ. As a way of honoring him and a legacy that sought to bring men and women, boys and girls, to faith in Jesus—we have named this sports complex after him.

—Pastor Jack Graham

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

The Need

We are grateful for your consideration in supporting the Joe Perry Sports Complex. Thanks to the incredible vision from Pastor Jack Graham more than two decades ago, a ministry was built to reach families with the Gospel through sports. We are extremely blessed with wonderful facilities for our Prestonwood Sports Organization because of the financial support of many. But as the mission of this ministry continues to flourish, the existing facilities desperately need to be updated and expanded. As we continue to equip our church with the most effective means possible to reach this generation with the message of Jesus, we need your help to strengthen and grow this outreach.

My Dad, Joe Perry, was coaching our team at a little league football tournament in 1989 when God revealed what had been stirring in his heart. Looking at the masses of people going into the tournament, he broke down and wept, saying, “They’re right here! They’re all right here! We keep looking for them and they’re all coming right here!” My father had an incredible passion for leading people to Christ and motivating other believers to do the same. At that tournament, God revealed an incredible platform for both sharing Christ and equipping others to do what God had called them to do … Fish for men.
