Fellowship of Christian Athletes, or FCA, is a fun-filled community that includes everyone, regardless of whether they are an athlete or not. FCA meets every Sunday night, and students have the opportunity to make friends and learn about the goodness of God.
Students have been involved in FCA at Millard West for about eight years, and God has moved in so many ways since then. To start the night, students compete in games, win prizes and eventually split into groups to share about their walk with God. FCA not only impacts the students’ lives but also the supportive leaders around them.
“FCA played a significant role in my faith journey when I was in high school,” huddle leader Justin Unrau said. “It gave me the courage to share my faith with other student-athletes and students. Today, it’s rewarding to see students grow in their faith journey through FCA.”
The FCA leadership team consists of four students who hope to share their love for Jesus with others. They do their best to include everyone and encourage people to attend each week. The leaders go to different trainings and work hard to make the community a safe place for everyone.
“My leadership training consisted of going to meetings and talking about what it means to be a leader at FCA,” sophomore Nina Saxon said. “These meetings have helped me when I was looking for a way to grow my faith and have a community at school who was doing the same.”
A new topic is discussed each week when the groups split for discussion. Whether it’s receiving the gift of salvation or how to pursue relationships, students can share what their experiences look like.
“FCA has made me more forthcoming and honest,” freshman Asher Akins said. “So far, we have learned about grace and showing it to others even when you might not want to.”
For almost a decade, FCA students have been able to create lasting friendships, win prizes, and have amazing interactions with God. Sometimes, FCA hosts events like Fields of Faith, and guest speakers come to share their testimonies. You can join FCA at their next meeting on Sunday from 8:00-9:00 pm. at 4510 S 167th Ave!
