Greater Stafford FCA Area Rep

We are looking for Christ-loving, sports-loving, change-agents of God, who will be responsible for developing and leading a team of volunteers and themselves to accomplish FCA’s vision.

To see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the

influence of coaches and athletes. 

Do you have a “successful” career but are asking, is this it? Are you stuck in a rut at your job, and ready to explore something more challenging? Are you fresh out of school and desire a career of significance with real impact on others? Maybe God is calling you into the exciting world of sports ministry. 

First a word of caution. This life changing career will be the toughest and most rewarding career of your life.
