The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is touching millions of lives... one heart at a time.

Job Opportunities:
FCA has over 800 employees nationwide. Of these, over 600 serve in the field ministering to athletes and coaches in communities across America.
FCA Field Staff Funding Requirement: FCA is a faith financed ministry and as such depends on the generosity of donors to support our ministry staff. Developing and implementing a funding plan is part of your responsibility as an FCA staff person.
FCA anticipates an approximate $70,000 - 100,000 annual budget for an FCA field position. This budget covers salary, payroll taxes, benefit costs, program and operating costs. Before FCA can officially hire an employee, 90% of the first year budget must be in place through cash funding and faith promises. As staff members trust God for their finances, they invite individuals, churches and other organizations to invest in their ministry through prayer and financial commitments. New staff will be trained how to find people God is calling to be on their team of ministry partners.
In addition to the funding requirement, a local leadership board is needed to support each FCA staff person financially, programmatically and emotionally. These board members will love you, support you and hold you accountable for your ministry. If the FCA community is not developed to the extent that adult volunteers or a adult chapter or local leadership board is in place, your chance for success is diminished.
Ideally, volunteers in a community have held the FCA program together through their efforts until such a time that a full or part-time FCA staff person is needed.
If married, your spouse and family must be similarly called to the ministry and support you in your role as FCA Staff .
