We seek to help children of all ages to glorify God with their entire human person.
Every child is made in the image and likeness of God and has been endowed with a particular mission only they can fulfill. In order to be the person God created them to be, they must first and foremost have a personal relationship with God. It is also essential that, as integrated persons, they tend to their health in mind and body as much as they are able.
“Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
We, at Pietra Fitness, aspire to support the work of God in each child, and to help them build and fortify that integrated foundation - mind, body, and soul.
