The Home Team is a group of people that
give prayer and financial support to individual
FCA staff and ministry on a regular basis. A
Home Team member is one who not only
agrees with the vision of FCA, but helps
underwrite the area’s ministry and operational
budgets on an ongoing basis. The Home
Team’s success is dependent upon each
member…
• praying for the FCA ministry.
• providing financial support.
•p
romoting the Home Team locally and
inviting others to join.
With the broad base support of an FCA Home
Team, your local staff is freed up to do more
ministry, the need for “crisis fundraising”
is eliminated and the long-term stability
and consistency of your local FCA ministry
is strengthened.
“A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others
will himself be refreshed.”
– Proverbs 11:25

VISION
I/ We want to join the Home Team and make an eternal
difference for athletes and coaches in our community.
THE HOME TEAM
we’re touching millions...one
Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
has challenged athletes and coaches to impact the
world for Jesus Christ. FCA is cultivating Christian
principles in local communities nationwide by
encouraging, equipping and empowering others
to serve as examples and to make a difference.
The need for Christ-centered outreach is clear:
• 3 out of 5 U.S. adults are concerned about the
attitudes, behaviors and lack of ethics in sports
today.*
• 3 out of 5 believe it is getting worse.*
Ministry
Coaches are the heart of FCA. Our role is to minister
to them by encouraging and equipping them to know
and serve Christ. FCA ministers to coaches through
Bible studies, prayer support, discipleship and mentoring, resources, outreach events and retreats.
“I love FCA!
I mainly love how they mix
my two favorite things:
sports and Christ.” - Will
• 3 out of 5 agree that FCA can be a positive
catalyst for change in the sports world.*
Reaching approximately 2 million people
annually on the professional, college, high school,
junior high and youth levels, FCA has grown into
the largest sports ministry in the world. Through
this shared passion for athletics and faith, lives are
changed for current and future generations.
Seizing Opportunities with the “4 C’s”
of Ministry
FCA’s staff has grown to nearly 900 in
approximately 400 offices across the country.
Our message is gaining momentum as more and
more dedicated supporters and volunteers share
their time, talents and beliefs with those longing
to be bolstered in faith.
FCA’s efforts are focused on our “4 C’s” of Ministry:
Coaches, Campus, Camp and Community.

Ministry
FCA has ministries that reach the community
through partnerships with local churches,
businesses, parents and volunteers. These
ministries not only reach out to the community,
but also allow the community to invest in
athletes and coaches. Non-school-based sports,
adult ministries, youth sports, FCA Teams,
clinics, resources, sport-specific ministries and
professional athlete ministries are our main areas
of ministry.
“FCA is [an] organization that I am
proud and grateful to be a part of. FCA has
had a huge impact on my life.” - Kelsie
