FCA Teamwork For The Win!
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, or FCA, is a nation-wide student-led ministry organization. Here at PCA it is held on two Thursdays each month where students get together before school to eat, play games, and hear a message.
Advised by faculty member Chris Kuzdale, the student leadership team is the one who organizes the contents of the meetings.
“They are a team that is responsible for almost everything about student ministry,” said Kuzdale, “They plan the Thursday meetings including the interactive games, the music, and the set-up. I focus on the speaker.”
This past week Middle School Leadership teacher and Varsity Basketball Coach John Harris came to speak to students on 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” Reminding the students that it is the mark they leave behind in their actions both on and off the court that shows the people around them that the Lord has been present.
As a way to help build the team in fellowship, every other Monday since the beginning of second semester, FCA Area Director, Justin Nealy meets with the group for a Bible study that focuses on the essentials of strengthening and living out our faith as followers of Jesus.
Team member, Kendall Anderson, says “I have loved serving as an FCA leader because I have learned so much about servanthood. I love connecting with lower classmen and seeing what small acts of kindness can do to make someone else’s day. Learning about how to make a positive impact on my peers has been so much fun.”
