SERVING WITH FCA IS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING AND IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCES BECAUSE YOU GET TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN OPENING THE SPIRITUAL EYES OF OUR YOUTH
Board Members: Strong and proven leaders to take leadership and to serve in the following areas - Board Development, Donor Development, Ministry Development, International Development, Staff Development.
Committees: With the ministry growing like it is, we are always looking for people to join one of five committees that will serve as the firm foundation for this ministry. They are:
- Board Advancement Committee
- Donor Advancement Committee
- Ministry Advancement Committee
- Volunteer Advancement Committee
- Coach Advancement Committee
Character Coach: Serve on a specific sports team or teams. You will serve the coaching staff and the players as their character coach, coming alongside them to learn values and character.
Coaches Huddle Leader: Lead a small group of coaches and recruit, train and disciple other coaches to do the same. Work directly with the Area Rep or Area Director.
Campus Coach: Works with the athlete Huddle Club leaders, discipling, training, and teaching them spiritual leadership, small group leadership, personal leadership and how to build relationships with others.
Camps: At each camp or clinic, there are many tasks that need to be completed, such as food coordinator, check-in/check-out, set-up & tear down, cleaning, water crews, and much more.
If You are a Coach
Campus Advisor: When a coach takes up the role of a club advisor on campus, the club becomes something really special and more active on campus than when a non-coach sponsors the huddle. Your influence is significant. Be bold.
Camps: You could start your own annual FCA sport specific clinic, or you could offer your time for a day or two during the summer or off-season to just be a coach at an already established clinic. Our camps and clinics give you the BEST opportunity to coach for Christ with a biblical perspective, unhindered by the constraints of an administration.
Clubs/Leagues: Start an FCA AAU/travel club team or start an instructional league for younger kids.
FCA has everything you need from operations, to administrative, to program, training and equipment/uniforms for you to live your calling out as a coach in the name of Jesus.
