Kingdom Beginnings
For more than 10 years, the Kingdom Sports Center complex was the dream of Founder and Co-Owner, Mike Roe. That dream became a reality in November 2002. Mike had traveled all over the country visiting sports facilities gathering ideas that he could incorporate into his own facility. However, Mike was not just looking for a good plan, he was wanting something different; a place where families could enjoy sports in which Christian values were conveyed. He wanted a place that God would be proud of!
 
Mike graduated from Middletown High School. At MHS, Mike was the standout baseball player and he also led the Middies
as a High School All-American. He went onto play at Northern Kentucky University where he made national rankings including 17th in hitting. He also led the nation in stolen bases. Mike baseball journey continued into professional play with the Montreal Expos. Now successfully married and the father of two, Mike is living out his dream, his mission of helping others through the support of Christ.
Mike, along with Co-Owner Tony Peck, Assistant General Manager Kathy Stites and Director Kingdom Kare Claudia Mann manage the Kingdom Sports Center. They are each committed in serving you and the community in a spirit of excellence.
