THE 2025 MINISTRY THEME IS HERE!!
WHAT ARE YOU CHASING?
All of us are chasing something that we believe will ultimately fulfill us and cement our legacy. At some point, we will find that these things still leave us empty and weighed down. In 2025, let's discover a GLORY that never fades, that frees us to go all out on and off the field to reflect love and hope for others!
From my Glory
to his glory
You don’t have to shy away from glory; you just need to reorient Who gets it.
- CHASING GLORY
- REVEALED GLORY
- REFLECTING GLORY
- LASTING GLORY
Join us as we dive into these four key concepts throughout the year to understand how you can go from chasing glory for self to living satisfied with giving God glory in all you do.

It started with a love for the game, but through FCA, it became so much more.
Faith. Family. Purpose.
Students are seeing God SHOW UP—in their teams, in their schools, and in each other. 🔥🔥🔥
Take that first step. Get involved! The impact goes way beyond the sport.
We loved hearing from students at our Top Golf event this year!

HE IS RISEN! ✝️
The cross wasn’t the end—
The stone rolled away, and with it, hope rose.
Though Easter was yesterday, the celebration continues:
An empty tomb.
A living Savior.
A powerful, unshakable hope.
With love from @arapahoecountyfca —
May the joy of the resurrection keep filling your heart and fueling your faith every single day.

Coaching is about more than just the scoreboard—it’s about shaping lives and leaving a legacy. 🏆 Years from now, your athletes won’t remember the wins, but they will remember the lessons you taught and the character you modeled. As Christian coaches, our actions speak louder than words. 🌱
Love is the foundation of everything we do—it’s about helping athletes grow, even through tough conversations. 🗣️ True mentorship happens when we meet athletes where they are, guiding them with patience and understanding. 🕊️
Effective coaching isn’t just about advice; it’s about listening, communicating, and modeling Christ-like behavior in every situation. 💬
Remember, we’re planting seeds that may not sprout immediately, but the impact will be felt for years to come. 🌾 Coaching is about winning hearts for Christ, not just games. How will your athletes remember you?

IT’S TIME! ⏰ Our 2025 Annual theme is here! 🎉
This year, we’re diving into what it means to shift from chasing personal recognition to reflecting God’s eternal GLORY. As coaches and athletes, it’s easy to focus on achievements and accolades, but true fulfillment comes when we live to glorify Him in everything we do. 🙌✨
What are you chasing? Championships, fame, fortune, love, acceptance? 🏆💰❤️
All of us are chasing something that we believe will ultimately fulfill us and secure our legacy. At some point though, we will find that these things still leave us empty and bogged down!
So let’s remember in 2025 to chase Someone and not all the somethings that leave us empty 💯
#fcaglory #arapahoecountyfca #fulfilled
Ready? 🙌
You’ve gone through a spiritual reset, and now it’s time to step into boldness! 💥 You’re READY to share the Gospel, make disciples, and live from the overflow of Christ in you. ✝️
As you walk in your gifts, leave behind the overwhelm and step into the joy and peace that only He can provide. His promises are real, and they’re overflowing in your life! 💧
The best is yet to come—let’s go 2025! 🔥
#BoldInChrist #OverflowOfGrace #FCA247
🌊 Jesus is the source of living water that sustains us through every challenge and moment of weariness. When life’s demands feel overwhelming—physically, mentally, or emotionally—we need more than just distractions. We need the deep, lasting replenishment only Jesus can provide. 💧
During the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus invited all who thirst to come to Him and drink from the streams of living water that never run dry (John 7:37-38). He saw the weariness of the people and offered Himself as the refreshment they so desperately needed. 🙏
We all thirst for something, but the only true source of lasting fulfillment is Jesus. What fuels you? Is it something that fades, or something that fills you eternally?
Let’s find true and lasting refreshment in Him. 💙
#FCA247 #Refuel #LivingWater #ThirstForJesus #TrueSatisfaction #SoulRest
🎄💥 A day of ninja moves, holiday cheer, and unforgettable memories with the amazing Arapahoe County FCA staff! From scaling walls to celebrating the season, we had an epic time at the American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park. 💪🏽🎅🏼
Grateful for this incredible team and all the hard work we’ve put in together this year. Here’s to more laughs, fun, and adventures in 2025! 🎉 #FCA #ChristmasParty #AmericanNinjaWarrior #TeamGoals #ArapahoeCountyFCA #HolidayFun
✨ “…to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” — Ephesians 4:22-24 ✨
After a powerful Reset, it’s time to RENEW. Let God renew your heart, mind, and life. Take time to discover your why. What is your purpose as a coach or athlete? 🏆
As you are renewed in Christ, you are given a higher purpose: to spread the Gospel and live for Jesus. 🙌 When you embrace this new identity, your life will be transformed in ways you never imagined.
Through Christ, I have a new identity and purpose in Him. 🙏💥
#Renew #Purpose #FCA247
Time to RESET!
As a coach or athlete, the constant hustle between sports and everyday life can be exhausting. 😫 This is not what God wants for you!!
🌿 We must learn to be still, be open, and be free as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our every step heading in to 2025.✨
It’s time to hit ‘RESET’—take the first step toward discovering a new 24/7. A time to ‘Be Still,’ away from the noise, and just be with God. 🕊️
As hard as it may seem, take the time to stop and know that He is God. 🙌 Recognize that He is in charge and He alone can give you the perspective shift you’ve been craving. 🙏
#BeStill #Recognize #FCA247
🌟 Join us for the next 4 weeks as we reflect on 24/7! 🌟
As the year comes to a close, it’s easy to feel like the demands never stop. We push ourselves to the limit, only to end up burnt out and exhausted. But this December, let’s choose a different path. 💫
Let’s remember that our lives don’t have to be ruled by the pressure to keep up or prove our worth. Instead, let’s SLOW DOWN and open our hearts to the blessings God is ready to give us. 🙏✨
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!” — Romans 15:13 💖
Let’s reset, refuel, renew and be ready to live out of the overflow of joy that comes from the presence or Jesus Christ as we head in to 2025!
Let’s team up to share the Word of God! It takes just $140 to provide a case of 12 Bibles to impact hearts and lives in Arapahoe County! 🙌🏽
Whether it is students, coaches, or teams every Bible is a step closer to transforming someone’s story with the truth and love of Jesus!!!

See you at the pole recap!
Schools all across Arapahoe County met to pray over our school districts, students, teachers, and our nation!
See You at the Pole is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the apple is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event!
Just because See You at the Pole is over doesn’t mean we have to stop praying!
Let’s continue to pray for our city, schools, and nation!
Do you have an incoming 3rd-5th grader??
Have them join us for an exciting flag football camp where they’ll get to improve skills, participate in scrimmages, and learn from expert coaches!
