TOP QUESTIONS
AM I CALLED TO FCA?
If you are passionate about ministering to coaches and the athletes whom they influence, by seeing them come to know Christ and to grow in their faith, then you may be called to ministry with FCA. This is the vision of our ministry and FCA’s ultimate goal.
We believe wholeheartedly that serving the Lord through FCA is answering a call to Christ in sports. Answering this call to join our ministry may be a career long pursuit. Therefore, we want to provide you with some information and an application process that may be helpful in discerning your call to serve the Lord through FCA.
WHY RAISE SUPPORT?
FCA is a faith-financed ministry and depends on the generosity of donors to support the ministry. Each FCA field ministry role includes responsibility for developing and implementing a funding plan as part of the preparation and onboarding process prior to being hired. FCA anticipates an approximate $60,000 to $75,000 annual budget for an FCA field position. This budget covers salary, payroll taxes, benefit costs, program and operating costs.
As field ministry staff trust God for their ministry, each is able to invite individuals, churches and other organizations to be active in FCA ministry through prayer, volunteering and financial commitments.
In addition, at certain staff levels, a local leadership board is required to support the FCA staff person spiritually, programmatically, financially and emotionally. These board members will love you, support you, and hold you accountable in their vital volunteer role to assure the integrity and advancement of the ministry.
