FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) Massachusetts

What FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) Massachusetts does

FCA Massachusetts is a regional chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a 501c3 interdenominational Christian sports ministry founded in 1954 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The Massachusetts chapter operates within FCA's Northeast Region, serving two primary personas — coaches and athletes — through Huddles (small-group faith and fellowship gatherings on campuses and at colleges), overnight camps such as the 360 Total Athlete Experience, GameDay events, sport-specific clinics (notably lacrosse), Fields of Faith student-led events, and digital resources including The CORE study, Daily Impact Play devotionals, and YouVersion Bible reading plans.

The organization's underlying technology is minimal: a massfca.org website on a multiscreen site builder powers donations, event registration, blog content, and resource distribution, with Zoom used for weekly prayer calls and communal scripture reading, and Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and Facebook Custom Audiences supporting web remarketing. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API surface. Revenue is generated entirely through individual donations — both single gifts and recurring monthly gifts — processed via the national FCA.org secure donation platform, with donors able to support specific staff members or general ministry operations. The ministry is led by State Director Jeannine Cavallaro, supported by a Multi-Area Director and several Area Representatives covering Essex County, Central & Western Massachusetts, Springfield, and Blackstone Valley, with Gordon College serving as the primary recurring venue partner for major events.
