FCA Sport Ministry Opportunities

 Battlefield FCA stands at the forefront of a bold vision, offering life-changing sports ministry opportunities that align with our mission: to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. Serving Prince William, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline, King George, Fredericksburg, Fauquier, Culpeper, and Rappahannock counties, as well as Mary Washington University, we engage with eight different sports environments: Action Sports, All Abilities, Campus, Club, League, Motorsports, Outdoor Sports, and Pro and Elite. We are seeking FCA staff, volunteers, and visionaries to partner with us in our journey to reach every corner of our community.


FCA Campus Ministry

The Heartbeat of FCA: At the core of Battlefield FCA's mission, our traditional campus ministry operates as the vital heartbeat within 34 high schools, 40 middle schools, and at the University of Mary Washington. These FCA Huddles are not merely gatherings; they are structured, certified small group bible studies where athletes and coaches delve into deeper spiritual engagement and personal growth.


Each huddle is designed to intertwine athletic discipline with spiritual development, enabling participants to strengthen their 'discipleship muscles' through regular, focused study and reflection on the Word of God. This integration of faith into all aspects of life helps participants not only excel in their sports but also navigate the complexities of personal and academic challenges with Christian principles.


Battlefield FCA is committed to supporting each huddle by providing the necessary resources to get started, continuous training for effective leadership, and ongoing support to ensure each group thrives. Our goal is to foster an environment where relationships with Jesus are deepened and where every coach and athlete is equipped to become a leader who exemplifies Christ-like character both on and off the field.


Battlefield FCA Sports Camps

Power Camps: At our Fredericksburg Power Camp, we currently serve approximately 400 young athletes, providing much more than just summer activities. This camp is a vibrant training ground for two distinct groups. Firstly, 8-12 year olds not only hone their athletic skills but also deepen their faith. Secondly, High School Huddle Leaders, who guide these younger campers, have the opportunity to develop their leadership and discipleship skills, crucial for spreading the gospel.


We are planning to expand our capacity from one to four camps, aiming to reach over 1,500 kids. This growth will enhance our ability to shape these young athletes and leaders into effective disciples and communicators of their faith.


Regional Camps: Our Regional Camps offer a transformative experience for high school athletes and college student mentors. Hosted in vibrant settings like the one at Kutztown, these camps combine rigorous athletic training with spiritual growth and leadership development.


High school athletes attending the camp can expect to enhance their sports skills under the guidance of experienced coaches and mentors. The program is designed to push athletes to excel in their respective sports while fostering a strong foundation in Christian values and leadership skills.


Simultaneously, the camps provide an exceptional opportunity for college students, who serve as Huddle Leaders. These leaders are tasked with guiding high school athletes through both their sports and spiritual journeys, offering mentorship and support. This experience is invaluable, as it helps college students develop crucial leadership and communication skills, preparing them for future roles as coaches or leaders within their communities.


Together, these camps create a powerful environment where both athletes and mentors can grow in faith, athleticism, and character, making lasting impacts on their lives and their communities.


FCA Sports: Outdoor Ministry

Expanding Beyond Traditional Boundaries: The Battlefield FCA Outdoor Sports Ministry is embarking on an audacious journey to reach new demographics. We're stepping beyond the familiar territory of current athletes and coaches, extending our hand to those who find their passion in the great outdoors. Our vision is to welcome outdoor sports enthusiasts who are yet to discover the enriching experience of the FCA community.


We envision a bold new world where the love for outdoor activities – fishing, hunting, equestrian sports, and more – intersects seamlessly with spiritual journeys. This ministry is poised to be a beacon of hope and growth, attracting individuals from diverse backgrounds, all united in their love for nature and their quest for a deeper spiritual connection.


FCA Sports: Leagues & Clubs

A Grand Vision for Athletic and Spiritual Growth: In Battlefield FCA Sports, we envision leagues where the echo of every cheer and the impact of every play resonates with deeper meaning. Here, victories are not just athletic achievements; they are celebrations of God's grace. Likewise, defeats become valuable lessons in perseverance and faith. Our leagues and clubs are more than venues for nurturing athletic talent; they are fertile grounds for cultivating spiritual growth and witnessing the transformative power of faith in action.


Our vision extends to offering an alternative to traditional sports leagues and clubs. We aim to create environments where sports are not just competitions but opportunities for athletes to experience personal and spiritual development. This approach is about integrating faith into every aspect of the game, creating a holistic experience for all participants.

FCA Sport: All-Abilities

Embracing All Abilities: A Vision of Inclusive Ministry At the heart of our expanded vision is the All-Ability initiative, designed to embrace coaches and athletes with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. This initiative underscores our belief that in God's eyes, we are all able, and every individual has unique contributions to make to our community and to the Kingdom of God. Our commitment goes beyond mere inclusion; we aim to actively reach out to and engage with the All-Ability community, ensuring they are an integral part of the FCA family.
