Coaches
Ministering to coaches - encouraging, equipping, and empowering them to lead with character and faith.
What is FCA
We exist to see lives changed by Jesus.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is the largest Christian sports ministry in the world. Since 1954, FCA has used the powerful platform of sports to reach coaches and athletes with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
Our vision
A world transformed by Jesus Christ.
To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.
Our mission
Every coach and athlete.
To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.
The heart and soul in sports
Relationships first. Always.
We get in relationship with coaches and athletes in the local schools and sporting environments of our community. We share the gospel with them, help them grow in Christ, and walk with them as they use the platform of sports to make disciples.
It is not a program to manage - it is people loving people, on the field and off it. When a coach is encouraged and an athlete is discipled, whole teams and campuses begin to change.
