FCA Huddles Back on Campus
It's been amazing to be back on campus with all our central coast Huddles gathering again in person this school year! The student leaders came ready and prepared to launch their Huddles after attending the Leadership Camp in early August. Praise God that we have 20 fully running Huddles across central coast middle school, high school and college campuses. This doesn't include the Core one-on-one discipleship and team Bible studies that are meeting regularly. Covid continues to directly affect our community and it's opening doors for FCA staff, volunteers and students to share the hope of Jesus every day!

We are so thankful to everyone who came out to join and partner with us this year at Atascadero High School!! Such a great night of student testimonies, worship, commitments to follow Christ, and fun.
August was a busy month for FCA! In addition to hosting Futures Camp for elementary kids at Santa Maria High School, we hosted 22 FCA high school students leaders for a three day intensive leadership camp. These students came from 7 high schools across the central coast. Camp was held at the beautiful Granite Ridge Christian Camp in Creston. Our goal as staff is to equip these leaders to lead with confidence and excellence! We talked about what it means to be a follower of Jesus, how to lead a campus Huddle and we played a lot of team building games too! The weekend was a blast and huge success!
This was our first FCA Futures Camp! Inviting 5th-8th graders from the Central Coast to come train in sports and learn, know and grow in relationship with Jesus. What a blast this week was, from day one the kids were ready to have fun! Over 50 volunteer coaches and high school students (huddle leaders) gave their time to these athletes, training them in soccer, baseball, softball, wrestling and basketball. A huge thank you to Santa Maria High School for allowing us to use their facilities for the entire week. On Wednesday, Luke spoke and gave the Gospel presentation to the athletes. What a powerful time to witness God open the hearts of kids who outwardly professed to trusting and following Jesus! This is what camp is all about!!

Santa Maria High School
This year was Central Coast FCA's 10th year of hosting the golf classic! We are blown away by the support and generosity of our community. We maxed out at 143 golfers, 36 foursomes and saw some great competition on the green. Thank you to all our golfers, sponsors and volunteers who gave generously of their time and resources to make this year's event a success. We are excited to announce that the tournament raised over $23,000. These funds will directly impact the lives of coaches and athletes on the central coast.
Now that school has started back up online and students are on a screen much of the day we talked with the city and decided to launch FCA IN THE PARK. It has been a blast! Being mindful of these athletes need for physical health but also mental and emotional health it has been great to give them a place were they and see their peers, exercise outside and participate in encouraging faith oriented conversations each week. We have been meeting at parks across the county to play pick up sports, eat snacks or pizza and participate in a discovery Bible study. It's been encouraging to see the athletes show up weekly and meet new faces as kids join us from the surrounding neighborhoods!
