Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ.

The Four C’s of Ministry:

Coaches Ministry

The Coaches Ministry vision is to redeem sports through transformed coaches. FCA ministers to coaches through Bible studies, prayer support, discipleship and mentoring, resources, outreach events and retreats.

Campus Ministry

The Campus Ministry is initiated and led by student-athletes and coaches on junior high, high school and college campuses. It has four ministry types: Huddles, Team Bible Studies, Chaplain Programs and Coaches Bible Studies. Additionally, outreach events take place on the campus such as One Way 2 Play-Drug Free programs, school assemblies, and the annual Fields of Faith event.

Camp Ministry

SMC sponsors Western Alamance athletes, by helping them attend a four-day conference for FCA. Sports Camps are a time of “inspirations and perspiration” for coaches and athletes to reach their potential by offering comprehensive athletic, spiritual and leadership training.

Community Ministry

The “win” of Community Ministry is to see the community reached for Jesus Christ through adult involvement. FCA partners with local churches, businesses, parents and volunteers to invest in coaches and athletes participating in club, recreational and youth sports teams.

“Our relationships will demonstrate steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word through Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence.” (The FCA Values)

Western Alamance High School FCA continues to meet weekly and provides a campus ministry for students at the school. FCA engages not only in student ministry, but also in community outreach (Hurricane Relief, Christmas Cheer, Salvation Army Clothing Drive). WAHS FCA also raises money to provide “scholarships” for students to attend Christian camp throughout the year as well as Walking Wisely.
