FCA's vision is to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes. Their mission is to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

Giving & Sending
Not everyone is able to go as a missionary, but there are excellent opportunities to send a missionary. We have three church wide campaigns each year. The Lottie Moon mission campaign occurs around Christmas and is for international missions. The Annie Armstong campaign occurs around Easter and is for home missions. The Operation Christmas Child is special as it occurs at VBS.
