Short for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, FCA is a club that meets every other Friday morning at 7:30 A.M. in Centennial. Speaker include school alumni, former and current coaches, and other faith-filled community athletes who share with students their faith journey throughout their athletic experience.
This year, Kyle Hamilton, Marchant Young, Tommy Marshall, Caden Strickland, and many more gave thoughtful advice.
FCA is led by Coach Bobby Perez and Coach Troy Hall, along with co-presidents Jane Fry and Wesley Laborde and a team of officers representing grades 9-12.
One new addition to FCA this year is fellowship groups. Whenever there is not a speaker, FCA officers lead small group discussions about a specific bible story, allowing everyone to share their thoughts and connections.
Outside of Friday morning meetings, FCA also holds fun service projects and activities that members can participate in, including the used sports equipment drive, Buddy Baseball, Buddy Soccer, and Braves Night. They even have club T-shirts!
Perez shared his thoughts about why students should join FCA.
“With so many of our students at Marist participating in athletics, FCA serves as a bridge to connect these athlete’s journeys to their own faith journey,” he said.
All Marist students are welcome and encouraged to join FCA. So come on out, listen to inspiring speakers, strengthen your relationship with God, and get a chicken biscuit.
