Be a part of a Community Adult Leadership Team to minister to churches, community, campuses, and coaches.
Last updated August 5, 2020.
Have you felt called to minster and serve to Athletes and Coaches in your schools, churches and communities?
If you have been praying for a way to impact and influence WY Sports culture, you have to come to the right place! FCA provides the opportunity, tools and resources for our Volunteers to lead others into a relationship with Jesus and grow in their Sport.
Hello! Welcome to our FCA WY Blog.
We hope that the stories and updates here give insight into what God is doing in our square state. We want to engage, equip, and empower our WY athletes and coaches, along with our amazing FCA community of volunteers and supporters.
That’s why…
We would like to share with you in this post:

Why We Need Task Force Teams
FCA Volunteers play a vital role, through the ministry of FCA, in sharing the Gospel and transforming the lives of EVERY athlete and EVERY coach in Wyoming.
In short, FCA TF Teams consist of FCA Leaders and Volunteers committed to growing in their walk with Jesus and serving athletes and their coaches. And, that's AMAZING! They serve coaches and teammates in their school and in non-school organizations. They may be Huddle Coaches or help Huddle Coaches. They grow and pray together. They fellowship together, too!
In Wyoming, FCA TF Teams intentionally seek opportunities to impact their schools and non-school teams, other athletes, and school and non-school coaches. Can you imagine how this changes the sports culture in school and non-school sports organizations?
Just look at these numbers and you can see the incredible opportunity committed Christian Volunteers and FCA Leaders have to impact and influence campuses, sports, and communities in Wyoming:
34,000 Athletes & Coaches, 120 Campuses, 70 Towns
What a Task Force Team Looks Like
Do you have a member of a Task Force Team and are wondering if you are on track with funding Staff and helping with Huddles? Or are you a Volunteer ministering to Student Athletes, but have no official Task Force Team?
Just as Rock Springs Fields of Faith resulted from the support and effort of their Task Force Team of Volunteers, Task Force Teams impact and influence athletes and coaches around Wyoming! For example, Rock Springs Volunteers hosted a Follow Up Meeting after our Black Hills Camp for Campers, their family, and the overall community. They prayed for the upcoming school year, listened to testimonies, and planned for future Huddles.
Because of these volunteers' hearts, many athletes and coaches lives are being impacted and transformed in Rock Springs. We hope that this continues throughout our state. We would love for Task Force Teams in EVERY community to join forces with Staff and local Churches and for EVERY Coach and Athlete in Wyoming to experience Jesus in both their lives and Sport.

Building a strong Task Force Team involves intentionally and consistently meeting together, focusing on the committee assignments, and preparing and planning for their ministry and outreach. However, this community sport team offers plenty of opportunities for Members to pray and worship together, fellowship and have some fun!
FCA TF Teams Serve Huddle Coaches and S.A.L.T.
FCA Huddle Leaders serve as certified FCA volunteers. To learn more about Huddle Leaders go HERE. For TF Teams, serving the Huddle Leader means engaging with them to find out their needs. Serving Huddle Leaders also means equipping them with connections and communication to People of Sport in churches and community.
By engaging with S.A.L.T., TF Teams can equip them and their Huddle Leaders to take the lead on events such as Field of Faith and empower them to serve Team Huddles and at Power Camps.
FCA TF Teams Serve Huddles
FCA Huddle means that a small group Bible study/devotion for coaches and athletes is certified and led by a FCA volunteer. While Huddle Leaders take the lead on Huddles, TF Teams also contribute to Team Huddle success!
TF Teams can minister to Team Huddles by providing a location to meet, providing meals and sharing Huddle meeting information, getting kids to camps, and promoting events like Fields of Faith.
FCA TF Teams Connect with the Church and Community
FCA Volunteers already have a heart for Jesus and sport. They want to help bridge the gap between Campuses and Communities and the Church.

FCA TF Teams Support Staff
FCA Local Staff depend on support from their areas. By starting and joining a TF Team, Members can use their funding committees to do fundraisers and direct donations to their local FCA Staff. If their area is without Staff, the financial support may be directed to funding future staffing.
In addition, TF Teams, specifically the Chair Person, meet with Staff to communicate area's needs and connect them to People of Sport in their area. Each TF Chair Person serves as a representative for their area on the State Leadership Board.
This provides an awesome opportunity for smaller communities to be represented on a state-wide level! Something to certainly consider when starting or joining a TF Team.
