2026 10 Year FCA Celebration Fundraising Dinner
By the grace of God, we are celebrating 10 years of ministry in Central & Western Massachusetts!
Not only are we celebrating 10 years, but we also changed the name of the event from the FCA IMPACT Dinner to the the FCA Celebration Fundraising Dinner because He is worthy to be praised and all glory goes to Him who makes all things possible.
This event will be speaker packed with those who have experienced the ministry up close and personal over the years. We will keep the program flowing by inserting short video highlights and cast vision for the next 10 years.
One of our special guests this year is our very own Northeast FCA Regional Vice President, Nathan Bliss.
Bring friends, coaches, pastors and business owners who need to know about Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Central & Western Massachusetts. This is a fundraising dinner so please make sure you let those you are inviting to join you know so that they are not caught off guard when we give the opportunity to give.
As we endeavor to honor God's call to establish the Christian sports community here in Massachusetts, our 71 year-old mission remains, "To impact the world by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes".
John 17:20-23
20 I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word.
21 May they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us, so that the world may believe you sent me.
22 I have given them the glory you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.
23 I am in them and you are in me, so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved them as you have loved me.
