WHAT IS FCA GOLF?
FCA Golf exists to make disciples by investing relationally with the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world of golf.
Whether you are an incoming freshman golfer, an existing member of a High School golf team, a coach, a professional or even just a golf enthusiast we want you to understand what a genuine relationship with God looks like and how it’s different from what most people think of when they hear the word, “religion.” We look forward to getting to know you and helping you wrestle with questions about golf, life, and faith.
