George W. Robinson and the Robinson family connection to First Baptist
began in 1960. The year the church moved to its present location,
George's
father became the Minister of Music. George grew up at First Baptist
and
attended Broad Ripple High School, graduating in 1967. He graduated
from Bacone College, an American Baptist College for Native Americans,
in
1969. He received his Bachelor Degree in Political Science from St.
Louis
University in 1980, and has done postgraduate work in that field.
George participated in adult athletics as a youth at First Baptist
before FBA
existed. He also played college basketball. George has always loved
sports
and kids. Yet sports without sportsmanship was meaningless to him even
as
a young man. This powerful combination of Christian regard for others
and sportsmanship in athletics has always been central to George's view
of
what his ministry is about.
He began working for FBA in the fall of 1989, and became Athletic
Director
in March of 1990. When asked how many kids he has, he replies matter of
factly, "3000."
HOW CAN YOU HELP
GET INVOLVED! The heart of First Baptist Athletics is the volunteer
work
of parents who coach, officiate, keep score, provide snacks, and other
important tasks. This program offers you a wonderful opportunity to be
with your family and be of valuable service to others - AT THE SAME
TIME!
There is plenty to do. In addition to these needs, we have mailings,
computer entry, photocopying, collation of materials for parents, and
other
OFFICE WORK that must be done. There is always FIELD and
EQUIPMENT maintenance work for those who enjoy working outside. The
CONCESSION STAND also needs people who are available during
practices and games.
We welcome your participation and invite you to become a part of the
Spirit
of First Baptist Athletics.
