Baycross Christian Family Foundation awarded a grant to the Suncoast Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) to be used toward hiring additional staff to grow and saturate FCA’s presence in tri-county schools.
The mission of FCA is to present to coaches and athletes, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church.
The four C’s of FCA are: Coaches Ministry, Campus Ministry, Camp Ministry and Community Ministry.
Coaches Ministry: Coaches are the heart of FCA. When coaches become followers of Jesus Christ, their character, their relationships and their approach to coaching will be authentic.
Campus Ministry: The school campus can be one of the most strategic mission fields with many youth passing through this portal. The Campus Ministry is a certified ministry that is initiated and led by student-athletes, sponsored by coaches, supported by staff, established on junior high, high school or college campuses and meets on a regular basis.
The types of Campus Ministry are: Club Huddle, Team Huddle, Chaplain Huddle and Coaches Huddle.
Camp Ministry: FCA provides athletes and coaches the opportunity to reach their God-given potential by offering comprehensive athletic, spiritual and leadership training in a camp environment. We create an athletic environment that produces spiritual transformation in the lives of coaches and athletes in a camp setting.
Community Ministry: FCA is ministering to the club, recreational and youth sports teams with the goal of establishing on-going ministry for coaches and athletes to compete for Jesus Christ with character, passion and excellence
