Fellowship of Christian Athletes at TCS

By Samantha DePriest

Earlier this month on Wednesday, November 2nd, Trinity Christian School FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) gathered with students from high schools all over the county at the “Fields of Faith” event in Coweta. What a sight to see so many student athletes worshipping together and experiencing His presence. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

Trinity Christian School started a chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) group last school year after student athlete Landon Clare expressed an interest in leading it. Landon shares, “FCA is 100% student led and the hope is that it is a spot where real life problems can be discussed and comforted without having to worry about judgment..”

Landon Clare is a Senior at TCS and FCA Leader.

Landon goes on to say, “We have decided as a leadership team to use the rest of the semester to draw up plans to help increase participation by working around new sports schedules. At the start of the 2nd semester in January 2023, anyone who would like to join FCA will have the opportunity to grow and learn as well as gather in fellowship.

We will lead Bible study’s in depth through the course of the year, including daily devotionals, and each leader will send out spiritual and accountability texts to check in with their small groups. This will help to make sure the students are staying in the scriptures and leaning on the foundation of Jesus.

We also will be hosting giveaways such as t-shirt give-aways and such so you might see students wearing them around the halls on Fridays, or free lunch for the first however many students attend. Also, I am trying to workout a worship day, once or twice, just to mix things up.

Not only that but outside of school and in our community, FCA organizes service opportunities and Tuesday night huddles where guest speakers and a fantastic worship team meet at a location and provides a larger outlet of our FCA team.

We partner with other schools FCA teams in the community to help spread the word. Over the summer there are camps provided for those who are truly committed to this FCA journey. No pressure as many people like to travel over the summer…including me…but it is another way to connect and plug in with FCA.”
