Forest Hills Fellowship of Christian Athletes

This page has been developed as a tool for students, parents, alumni, and any other interested inviduals to provide information about Fellowship of Christian Athlete activities conducted within the Forest Hills School District campus. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), a Christ-centered Bible-based ministry, was an idea born in Don McClanen's heart in 1947 when he was a student at what is

now Oklahoma State University. McClanen's vision officially became FCA in November 1954. Today, FCA is touching millions of lives... one heart at a time. FCA has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA focus on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ. As an inter-denominational ministry, FCA is Christ-centered (focusing of our message); Kingdom-minded (serving the purpose of the Church); Bible-based (source of our authority); athletically focused (ministering to coaches and athletes); spiritually nurturing (helping people to know and grow in Christ); fellowhip-oriented (connecting people through the love of Christ); volunteer-intensive (mobilizing adults to accomplish the mission); culturally adaptive (meeting the diverse needs of people); and faith-financed (funded through the people moved by God to give).
