Leadership Calendar

Huddle Time

LMS Huddles Meetings
Friday Mornings
6:55am-7:25am
LMS Gym
(No Cell Phones Allowed)

FIRST MEETING: Friday, September 5

Huddles - A time where we break our large group down into smaller groups giving the students a chance to be in a smaller setting allowing them to become a little willing to share and talk about what God is doing in their lives.

Verse(s) - share the one verse or if you can find other verses that have the same meaning - be sure to ask other people to read these during the huddle time.

Feedback - ask the group how they relate or understand the verse - (ask the group to share) Be prepared for some awkward silence and give the kids a chance to speak.

Reflection - share with the group what you think the verse means and how it can apply to us.

Questions - prepare two to three questions about what you discussed. Prepare your answers to these questions in case no one speaks. Be prepared for some awkward silence and give the kids a chance to speak.

Prayer Request/Closing Prayer - time permitting, go around your circle and ask people to pray if they will and just pray what’s on their heart - when done just say “In Jesus Name” - that will let the next person know you are done - if someone does not want to pray, then you just say “In Jesus Name”. Once it gets back to you the Huddle Leader - close the prayer with your own prayer request - again - just say what is on your heart at the time and thank him for the opportunity to gather together and discuss Your Word and how it applies to us - and ask Him to protect everyone as they walk down these halls.

Competitors Creed

The Competitor's Creed

I am a Christian first and last.
I am created in the likeness of
God Almighty to bring Him glory.
I am a member of Team Jesus Christ.
I wear the colors of the cross.

I am a Competitor now and forever.
I am made to strive, to strain,
to stretch and to succeed
in the arena of competition.
I am a Christian Competitor
and as such, I face my challenger
with the face of Christ.

I do not trust in myself.
I do not boast in my abilities
or believe in my own strength.
I rely solely on the power of God.
I compete for the pleasure of
my Heavenly Father, the honor of Christ
and the reputation of the Holy Spirit.

My attitude on and off
the field is above reproach –
my conduct beyond criticism.
Whether I am preparing,
practicing or playing;
I submit to God’s authority
and those He has put over me.
I respect my coaches, officials,
teammates and competitors
out of respect for the Lord.

My body is the temple of Jesus Christ.
I protect it from within and without.
Nothing enters my body that
does not honor the Living God.
My sweat is an offering to my Master.
My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.

I give my all – all of the time.
I do not give up. I do not give in.
I do not give out. I am the Lord’s warrior –
a competitor by conviction
and a disciple of determination.
I am confident beyond reason
because my confidence lies in Christ.
The results of my efforts
must result in His glory.

LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN.
LET THE GLORY BE GOD’S.

Service Projects

FCA Service Projects

Integrity. Serving. Teamwork. Excellence

FCA's four core values — give us a foundation from which we can carry the message of Christ to coaches and athletes through the vehicle of sports. Through God's provision, the ministry has grown beyond anything we could've thought or imagined over the past six decades.

While each of the core values is fundamental to what we do at FCA (and who we are as Christ-followers), Serving is one of the key ones as that is what Jesus did while He was here on the earth - He Served!. Think about it: No other action a person can take leaves as profound an impact on another as serving. It's a basic, essential part of the daily Christian walk. Each day, we should be committed to serving others, simply putting their needs and wishes in front of our own.
