Why FCA is student-led
Empowers peer leadership: The organization aims to equip and empower students to be leaders on their campuses and teams. Student leaders run meetings, lead studies, and guide others in their faith journey, which includes roles like opening and closing prayers, game leaders, and lesson leaders.
Aligns with legal rights: In public schools, religious clubs are often student-initiated and student-run to comply with laws like the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which promotes the separation of church and state.
Fosters student-led ministry: The model is built on the idea of "making disciples" through students and coaches. Students and coaches initiate and lead campus ministry, including huddles and Bible studies, which allows for a more organic and peer-driven ministry.
Provides training and resources: FCA provides resources and training to help student leaders develop their skills and run their meetings effectively. This includes training on best practices, leading prayers, and capturing faith decisions.
