About FCA


Vision & Mission


  • Vision

    To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.

  • Mission

    To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.


Values

Our relationships will demonstrate steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word  through Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence.


  • Integrity (Proverbs 11:3)

    We will demonstrate Christ-like wholeness, privately and publicly.

  • Serving (John 13:1-17)

    We will model Jesus’ example of serving.

  • Teamwork (Philippians 2:1-4)

    We will express our unity in Christ in all our relationships.

  • Excellence (Colossians 3:23-24)

    We will honor and glorify God in all we do.


Strategy

We seek to make disciples through our strategy of engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and athletes to know and grow in Christ and lead others to do the same.


  • Engage (1 Thessalonians 2:8)

    We engage coaches and athletes through genuine relationships sharing our lives and the Gospel.

  • Equip (Ephesians 4:12)

    We equip coaches and athletes to grow in Christ through God’s Word.

  • Empower (2 Timothy 2:2)

    TEAM FCA Page


    For those who feel called to serve in full-time or part-time ministry, and want to marry their love of sports with their passion for Jesus, this life-changing opportunity could be for you.


    We are seeking:

    • Area Directors
    • Area Representatives
    • Ambassdors
    • Volunteers
  • Join the Volunteer Leadership Board

    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. 78% of all high school students 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. 

  • Tell Others About FCA

    Referrals are vital to the continued growth of FCA. Do you know business leaders, individuals, coaches and athletes who love Jesus and love sports? We want to meet them to share the vision and mission of FCA.


    • Want Dan Barnes to speak to a community group about FCA?
    • Want to host a desert social for FCA in your home or church?

    The message to share with others is simple: “I know of a great ministry to athletes and coaches that is bringing the gospel to our schools and communities through athletics right here in Central & Western Mass. You need to meet with Dan Barnes.”
