2 TIMOTHY 2:2
It all started in 1954 when the founder of FCA, Don McClean, brought his desire to change a hero-worshiping world into a world that worships God.
"For some time, I have had the idea of forming an organization of athletes and coaches in this hero-worshiping nation of ours. If athletes can endorse shaving cream, razor blades and cigarettes, surely they can endorse the Lord, too. So my idea is to form an organization that would project you as Christian men before the youth and athletes of our nation."
What you see today is an organization focused on challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
FCA EXISTS TO SERVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY EQUIPPING, EMPOWERING & ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR CHRIST.
