At the heart of FCA are coaches. Our role is to encourage and equip them to be role models in knowing and serving Christ. FCA ministers to coaches at every level through our Heart of a Coach program, R12 Coach discipleship training, 3D Coaching Bible study, outreach events, training and resources. Resources include coach-specific Bibles and devotionals. In addition to FCA staff discipling and mentoring coaches, we provide marriage weekends and retreats at Horseshoe Bay Resort every July. Our outreach events include programs at national and local coaches' conventions. Locally, we attend the THSCA School every July and provide a Coaches Appreciation Luncheon in Brownwood every August. In the Brownwood Area, there are over 310 coaches in the schools FCA impacts.
The FCA Campus Ministry is initiated and led by student-athletes and coaches on junior-high, high school and college campuses. FCA's goal is to enable student-athletes to know and grow in their faith in Christ and to encourage their peers to do the same. Our programs include Huddles (school clubs), team Bible studies, pre-game devotionals, chapel assembly programs, prayer groups, TeamFCA membership, our One Way 2 Play - Drug Free program and Fields of Faith. Locally, there are 18 active FCA Huddles in the Brownwood Area, which consists of 7 counties, 31 school districts, and over 18,000 students.
Camps are a time of "inspiration and perspiration" for athletes and coaches to reach their potential by offering comprehensive athletic, spiritual and leadership training. Now FCA offers over 350 camps including Sports Camps, Leadership Camps, Coaches Camps, Team Camps, Partnership Camps and Youth Sports Camps called Power Camp.

FCA reaches out to the community through our non-school-based FCA ministries and programs which are made possible through partnerships with parents, volunteers, local churches and businesses. The dramatic growth of club, league and church sports, presents a significant opportunity for FCA, and we have established many sport-specific FCA ministries including golf, lacrosse, baseball, health and fitness, motocross, volleyball, soccer and endurance. In the Big Country, Fields of Faith and the annual Myrle Greathouse FCA All-Star Classic football and basketball games also make a great impact locally.
