Logos Ministries Wellness & Fitness Campus

Members of a church on Marion’s northwest side hope their newest project will have a positive effect on the neighborhood they serve. Logos Christian Ministries new wellness and fitness campus opened in August, due in part, to a grant from Marion Community Foundation.

The campus, located adjacent to the church at 582 Lee St., features a 1/8-mile long walking track, basketball court, gazebo, two fire pits, and several benches.

Pastor Jackie Peterson said, “The west side of Marion just needs a little tender loving care.” The wellness and fitness campus is just another way her congregation is reaching out to the neighborhood and is open to the public, not just church members.
“I believe in taking care of the temple, the whole man. Not only can people get exercise, but we have a gazebo and benches where they can relax and meditate. And, the kids have a safe place to play.”

Additional funding partners include OhioHealth, and Marion Public Health.
