Earlier this Summer, Simpson University President Norm Hall reached out to FCA Field Ambassador Norm Slosted and ordered FCA Sports Bibles for every student athlete and coach. Five hundred and seventy-six (576) Bibles arrived on campus and were first gifted to the early-arrival, Fall sports athletes.
The FCA staff application and onboarding process is extensive, increasing the confidence FCA is a good fit and the candidate is "called" by God to ministry. We are excited to announce the candidacy of Jared Gallardo for the position of Area Director to the CA North State Central Counties of Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity.The last step before an offer of employment is extended and the prospective staff can begin raising support is "Bootcamp". Jared will be heading to the FCA Support Center in Kansas City this September for a three day bootcamp orientation and training.
Norm Slosted met with PE Teacher & Track Coach Dan West earlier this summer to discuss how Anderson Middle School could launch an FCA Huddle on campus. Coach West has identified student-leaders to initiate chartering the club on campus. He is looking forward to supporting these young student-athletes as they grow in their faith and leadership on campus.
Field Ambassador Norm Slosted connected with a few FCA friends, both old and new, at the Simpson University New Student Move-In Day . Athletic Director Rob Harley (Lt) has been leading the department since Spring of 2023 and has been a great partner with FCA. Brandon Hall (Rt-Middle) served two years as the FCA Huddle President before graduating. He now serves as the Missions Coordinator. Brandon's Cousin Jonathan Hall (Far Rt) is the FCA Simpson Huddle Advisor and Head Cross-Country and Track & Field Coach. FCA enjoys partnering with these incredible people.
FCA Huddles participate in the Worldwide student prayer event every September. This year's event is September 24, 2025. Most campuses will meet around the flagpole in the morning before first period.
Baccalaureate (n): A religious service held at some educational institutions before commencement , containing a farewell sermon to the graduation class. The Modoc HS FCA Huddle hosted a baccalaureate service for all graduating seniors. Faith Bible Pastor Lynn Culp and Vineyard Pastor Niki Wolter--both FCA Huddle Advisors--baptized three FCA seniors during the service. The rural town high school in Alturas may have a small enrollment, but God is doing BIG things through the ministry of FCA. SO GOOOOOOOOOD!
FCA and Chick-fil-A sponsored a party at West Valley HS as their reward for having the most students at Night of Champions . Joel Vengley, father of an FCA student-leader, shared a message on glorifying God through athletic competition. The WVHS FCA Huddle regularly hosts 45-50 students at their weekly meetings under the support and guidance of Huddle Advisors Erin Sprague and Chris Fitch.
