The Fellowship of Christian Athletes offers students, athletes, coaches and University staff an opportunity to learn more about God’s love for them and how it can positively affect their daily lives.
Our weekly Tuesday meeting consists of food, relationship building and an inspiring message about knowing and growing in Christ. We also offer small group Bible studies as an additional way to develop spiritual maturity.
