Life Enrichment Center (LEC)
The Life Enrichment Center of the Bartlett United Methodist Church is an affirmation that Christian Ministry is to the whole person... spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. Recreation is an important part of the ministry of the church. Life enrichment happens through recreation. The Life Enrichment Center provides people an opportunity to develop community in fellowship with other Christians as well as personal strength of body and soul. The LEC facility includes a regulation size basketball court, 1/16 mile indoor walking track, raquetball court, and weight room.
