FCA Coaches Ministry is the ministry method to coaches through Huddles, events, training and resources. FCA Coaches Ministry focuses on ministering to the heart of the coach first, and then supporting the coach as they engage with the Four C’s of Ministry.

In 2014, we saw incredible impact with a record 700 certified Coaches Huddles.

Also, we’ve seen tremendous impact through 3Dimensional Coaching, an online curriculum of video training modules that allows coaches to determine their transformational purpose in coaching. We also released a brand new book, 3D Coach, which explains the 3D concept of coaching.

To help our staff better engage coaches, we hosted our third annual Coaches Ministry Academy, where 54 selected national and international staff were trained and certified on the 3Dimensional Coaching strategy. FCA also participated in eight national coaches’ conventions, where coaches were encouraged and challenged to grow in their faith.

The school campus is one of the most strategic mission fields with the vast majority of all youth passing through this portal. FCA focuses on equipping, enabling, empowering and encouraging student athletes, coaches and adult leaders to impact and influence their campus for Christ. There are three ministry types: Multi-Sport Huddles, Team Huddles and Coaches Huddles. Additionally, outreach events take place on the campus such as school assemblies and the annual Fields of Faith events.

In 2014, over 450,000 students were reached on 10,568 campuses across America.

The tenth annual Fields of Faith event had more than 185,000 students participate on approximately 505 athletic fields. Of those, 6,270 commitments to Christ, 8,297 recommitments to Christ, and 13,711 commitments to read the Bible were made. God has used Fields of Faith to impact over one million people since it first began in 2004.

Camp is a time of “inspiration and perspiration” for coaches and athletes to reach their potential by offering comprehensive athletic, spiritual, and leadership training. In FCA we offer seven types of camps: Sports Camps, Leadership Camps, Coaches Camps, Power Camps, Partnership Camps, Team Camps, and International Camps.

FCA Camps experienced a record-shattering year with a total attendance of 86,557 at 516 FCA Camps in 40 states and 33 countries around the world.

Many lives were impacted and transformed by outstanding competition and spiritual growth during FCA’s 58th camp season. The 2014 theme, ALL IN, challenged attendees to take a leap of faith and commit 100% to Jesus Christ as they go all in—body, mind and spirit—for their sport and faith. That is exactly what happened with 10,137 salvation decisions and 9,642 recommitments to the Lord.

With the majority of athletes playing sports in the community (non-campus programs), FCA is ministering to the club, recreational and youth sports teams with the goal of establishing on-going ministry for coaches and athletes to compete for Jesus Christ with character, passion and excellence. FCA Community Ministry is the off-campus opportunities to reach coaches and athletes through the club and recreation sport environment. Over 16,000 coaches and athletes were reached through 644 community sport Huddles around the globe. The types of Community Ministry are: Team Huddles, Multi-Sport Huddles, Coaches Huddles and FCA Sport Teams.

FCA International has exploded in 2014. It continues to impact coaches and athletes throughout the world by connecting FCA’s 485 field offices and over 1,100 staff to those who lead sports ministries overseas. FCA International has focused on developing and growing the affiliate program by providing opportunities for leaders in sports ministries within their own countries to be equipped with FCA’s programs, services, support and tools. The result has been incredible with ministry expanding into 45 countries. Also, FCA Staff have partnered and trained affiliates around the world, as well as distributing FCA resources worldwide. International Camps have rapidly expanded. In 2014, there were 152 camps with 29,150 attendees in 33 countries.
