Empowered Fitness Ministry will start its 2024 program on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 9:30 a.m. at emPower Training Systems, 276 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster.

Empowered Fitness Ministry is a Christian, not-for-profit organization led by a group of volunteers with a mission to strengthen the Lancaster community through fitness-based worship and the love of Jesus Christ. The program is designed to inspire a life of faith, family, and fitness. Each month, the ministry will offer a free event consisting of a workout led by a certified trainer followed by a faith-based message.

The 2024 program, "Build on the Rock," will start with the message "What Is the Gospel?" in January, presented by pastor Bob Garvey of West Willow United Methodist Church. The messages will build on each other and culminate with the theme "Peace" in December.

The January workout will be created and led by Carla Beam and will offer modifications for any skill level. In addition, the kickoff event will include prizes, food and more.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of skill level, religious beliefs or gym membership. For more information, visit http://www.empowertrainingsystems.com/empowered-fitness-ministry.html or call Wanda Gregg at 717-278-5571 or Carla Beam at 717-300-0543.
