In the middle of such constantly changing times, there are a few things that stay the same: God’s Word, our call to be disciples who make disciples, and our need to grow in our faith.

For 65 years, FCA has been engaged in sports ministry, constantly innovating to effectively reach the changing landscape our coaches and athletes experience. As we look at the new reality of off-site ministry, we want to seize the opportunity and build momentum in a new, digital era.

Bottom line: we want to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. And we want to equip coaches and athletes to make the most of this unprecedented time to get creative in staying connected with their teams. It’s in these days where we need each other the most, and that’s why FCA is introducing #FCAvirtual, an online and social media initiative to rally coaches, athletes, and staff around the incredible stories of what God is doing through virtual FCA ministry.

This is a space to get ideas for how to engage teams and Huddles in online spiritual growth and to look for ways to serve and connect in this time of limited social interaction. Be encouraged by what God is doing around the world through the virtual avenue and stay notified of evolving ministry and training happening in the field for new ideas, and unify leaders around a common rallying cry during a time of increased isolation.
