The Vision has Never Been Clearer

Help us Reach Our Goal

CAN YOU FEEL IT? ...like a movie where the hero is outside of a locked room, suddenly the door bursts open, and the hero steps in saying, "Come with me, you are free now."

God kicked down some doors this year and the Church is being set free to rise up, to be BOLD AND COURAGEOUS in truth and love, and to pursue our youth in the name of Jesus.

To the left, is the framework and structure for the growing sports community in Massachusetts. As we add staff, mobilize volunteers and disciple coaches and athletes, we will be adding AAU/Travel teams, youth instructional leagues, non-mainstream sports ministries making disciples who make disciples.

In 2025 and for many years to come we are pursuing EVERY coach and EVERY athlete in EVERY sport from cornhole to NASCAR, and everything in between, with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Whether you want to start giving monthly or make a one-time gift, the treasure being stored up for those who invest in God's work will be glorious. We want to see your treasure in heaven grow by supporting this miraculous movement of God in Massachusetts through FCA.

FCA is a ministry that goes where the enemy is doing His most effective work ...in our schools.
There is a lot of prayer, strategy, intentionality, planning, teamwork and patience that goes into sustaining a firm foundation for this ministry.

We are seeking servant leaders, devoted to the Great Commission, who are not willing to be passive about the spiritual wellbeing of the future leaders of God's Church.

God gave FCA sports as the means to impact the world by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes. Join us in this mission.
Invest Financially

FCA of Central & Western Mass is 100% locally-funded and is predominantly funded by monthly individual supporters.

As a locally-funded mission we rely on one-time, monthly, quarterl and annual gifts, as well as event sponsorships.

FCA offers a number of ways to support us whether by one-time gifts, stock gifts, planned giving, etc. A highly-desirable option is to join the “HOME TEAM”. The Home Team is made up of “Automatic Monthly Partners” (AMP). AMP donors commit to giving monthly by EFT or via credit card. These donors are the backbone and lifeblood of a ministry.

Volunteer Your Gifts and Talents

Volunteering with FCA can be a life changing decision for you and everybody you know who have sons and daughters in sports.

We just have a heart to engage, equip and empower coaches and athletes to be lights for Christ in and out of competition. 48% of all high school students in Massachusetts participate in athletics. This presents a tremendous mission field.

One thing that we want the community of believes to know, it is that FCA is not something that you or your kids join. It is something that you and your kids use.

FCA is THE single most powerful tool for meeting the youth where they are.

There are numerous ways for people to volunteer with FCA. We differentiate between working IN the ministry from working ON the ministry. If you want to be on the ground with coaches and athletes, you can lead huddles, serve as a team Character Coach and help with camps and clinics. If you like building things then you can serve on advisory teams and/or as a board member.

There is a place for everyone within FCA. Contact Dan Barnes at dbarnes@fca.org to talk more.
