Anoka FCA leaders got a chance to bond at @topgolf yesterday.

Awesome morning at @centennialbreakfastclub yesterday!! @t_morgan2, @gophersports Football alumni quarterback, spoke about having a firm foundation in our current culture.

It’s time for North Metro FCA’s “Huddle Highlight.” Check out what’s happening at Anoka High School’s FCA. 📅 When and where does your huddle meet? The Anoka High School FCA huddle meets once a month on a Sunday (usually) to ensure that all our student leaders can attend. As many of our student leaders are in PSEO, meeting in the morning on a weekly basis at Anoka High School was not something we could do as a full group. However, in addition to those monthly meetings, I often have bi-weekly check-ins with student leaders who can make it to my classroom in the morning to see how they are doing and catch up together. ✅ What do you typically do at your huddle meetings? At a typical huddle check-in, I will bring in donuts or something fun for students to munch in while we chat about how their small groups have been going. We also sometimes brainstorm next month's large group event and do some planning! Some days, it's a place for students to ask hard questions that they need help processing with their fellow leaders and I regarding small groups, faith, school, friendship, etc. It is a place where we can pray and support one another in whatever ways they may present themselves and look to God's word for His truth. Our weekend huddles usually include dinner, a sharing of our highs and lows, a message or encouragement by myself or Zach Hansen, and then some time for us to dig into the word together. 💙 In what ways has FCA served your school/community at large? One way that I have seen FCA serve our school or community is simply by allowing spaces for students to engage with their peers about their faith in a safe space. This organization is so cool because it not only equips students to be leaders, but supports the creation of communities within a school or community for peers, by their peers, to lift one another up. 💭 If someone wanted to join your huddle, what should they do? Contact me, Ms. Benson! Or their small group leader if they have one! We would love to have anyone join who feels called to be a leader in this way! #fca247

Don't just stand by, get in! Hear this week from North Metro Rep, Dwight Nelson, as he helps us kick off the week.

A couple of great moments last night and this morning seeing God's impact in this world through sports. 1st picture is @rhsfca5783 huddle from this morning in prayer. 2nd picture is Champlin hockey team praying after their game last night vs Anoka. God is good! #fca #fca247

A few days ago, coach and pastor, Ray Fritz, along with student leader, Maria Harry, shared at the 2nd Annual East Metro Compass Educator Breakfast. Ray shared about a student who came to relationship with Jesus at Anoka High School's Bibles and Breakfast club while reading an FCA Bible. 3 months later, the student was baptized. She invited her family who didn’t have a relationship with Jesus. During her baptism, her mom gave her life to Christ! Student leader, Maria Harry, shared how she accepted Jesus while reading Isaiah 53. Maria has gone on to lead at Anoka High School FCA and attend Northland FCA's Leadership Camp. Coach Fritz and Maria were an encouragement to the teachers and school staff who attended this breakfast. We are thankful for coaches and students like these two! #fca247

Osseo Senior High FCA met last Sunday to hear from @bethelumn's cross country and track runner, Lydia Gessner. Our Area Director, Dave Frasier, and Area Rep, Dwight Nelson, stopped in to meet the students and huddle leaders who run Osseo Senior High School's FCA. They were super welcoming and we had a great time. What a cool group of people! #fca #fca247

Great morning at @cphsfca and Jackson FCA! God is doing great ministry!!! #fca #fca247

It's time to kick off the work week with 'Monday's Memo'. Listen up as North Metro Area Rep, Zachary Hansen, reminds us about something important we need to keep in mind as followers of Jesus. #FCA #fca247

Great night tonight at Anoka FCA. James 1 was the devotion and we hung out, did cookie decorating, watched Cars, and more! #fca #fca247

11th grader, Andover High School student-athlete, Cameron Begalle, was selected as this month's featured Student Spotlight. Check out what he has to say about 1️⃣ What hobbies/interests do you have? 🏈 Football, 🏀 Basketball, 🏆 Track, and hanging out with family and friends. 2️⃣ Why did you decide to be involved with FCA? I thought it was a great way to express my faith with people with the same mindset. 3️⃣ What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? It’s helped me grow closer to God, making stressful moments in my sports less stressful and more enjoyable.

📣 Listen up! Hear what North Metro Area Director, Dave Frasier, has to say this week about serving. #fca247

Why celebrate just 1️⃣ Huddle Coach, when you can celebrate 2️⃣ ?!? Hear from Spring Lake Park FCA's Huddle Coaches, Ben and Aminta Geisler. 📚 🏈 What do you love about your sport? (Aminta) "I love getting to talk with the students about how they can shine a light on and off the field, as well as what they can do to build strong faith muscles. Sports can be such an amazing training ground for what lies ahead in the real world: challenge, adversity and lots of determination needed. " ✝ How does your relationship with Christ affect your ability to coach? (Ben) "I’ve been fired twice. (Technically I was asked to resign…) That was really hard both times. You put so much time and effort into your craft. You pour your heart into those kids. Often we find our identity from that title “coach”. In hindsight I can see God’s hand in it all. I can see how he used it to soften me and align my priorities. I can see how it allowed me to be home with my family where I may have missed that otherwise. It was a gift, but not one that I was hoping to receive." 📖 What verse or Bible story helps you keep your eyes on God as you coach? (Aminta) "The book of Ruth is one of my all time favorites. She found herself in an impossible situation, but she trusted God and He did the redemptive work in her life. Ruth was loyal, humble and courageous... and because of it, God could do the impossible. Therefore, that is the posture I try to take before the Lord. Open hands, on my knees, and ready to say "yes" to whatever he asks me to do. It keeps me focused on the main thing: doing the good work he has planned for me to do." ❤️ What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? (Ben) "The biggest impact FCA has had on me is that it really gave me permission to coach with Christ as the center. I have simple goals like winning games/championships, but FCA has helped me to fashion my purpose. It has allowed me to narrow my focus to not only impact kids, but also to invite them to know Jesus. THAT is where hope exists." #FCA #fca247

Since we have lots of new followers, we figured we were due for some introductions! 👋 📢 Hear from our North Metro staff, Dave, Dwight, and Zach in this week's "Monday Memo." We are thrilled that you are part of our community and look forward to sharing more with you these upcoming months. 🗓 Stay tuned for more. 🎥

It’s time for North Metro FCA’s “Huddle Highlight.” Check out what’s happening at St. Francis high school’s FCA. 📅 When and where does your huddle meet? We meet every other Wednesday morning before school in Mr. Loukinen's room. ✅ What do you typically do at your huddle meetings? We start off every meeting with some small group time, and then either a student or a teacher gives a devo. Then we end with some time to talk in small groups. 💙 In what ways has FCA served your school/community at large? Our goal is to make a positive impact on campus and in the community. We want to display God's love with anyone we come in contact with. 💭 If someone wanted to join your huddle, what should they do? They can either talk to a student who is already involved or talk with Mr. Loukinen. We would love to have new students!

Merry Christmas from North Metro FCA! "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 #FCA #FCAGreater

Great message by Coach Develice at Andover FCA this morning!!! Philippians 4:13!! #fca #fcagreater

This month, we are thrilled to introduce you to Saint Francis High School's senior softball player, @sena.ruid! Check out what Sena has to say about her hobbies, faith, and involvement with FCA. 🏐 What hobbies/interests do you have? When I’m not working out or going on walks with my dog 🐶, I’m getting coffee ☕ with my friends or spending way too much money 💸 shopping 😁 ✝️ Why did you decide to be involved with FCA? My dad used to work at a school 📚 with a pretty strong FCA. I actually went and spoke one time and it inspired me to start something similar at my school. Ultimately, I felt both my school and myself were lacking the presence of Jesus. God put it on my heart to shine ✨ some light on my school! I thought no better way than to involve God, sports, and school! 🙌 💭 What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? Connecting faith and sport has always been super big for me. Starting an FCA huddle at my school only made it more important. I play with an AO1 (Audience of One) mindset!☝ This has helped me become more thankful plus just play knowing no matter what happens I will always be a child of God! ✝️ YHWH!

What better way to celebrate the upcoming basketball season than learning about one of FCA's Huddle Coaches, Aaron Youngberg, from Coon Rapids High School. 📚 🏀 What do you love about your sport? I love the versatility of basketball and what it requires of the athlete. It requires explosiveness, quickness, gracefulness, power, mental fortitude, and a variety of skills from dribbling to shooting to defending and footwork. The amount of time and intentionality that it takes to hone each of these skills in order to do them effortlessly and without thinking really is fun to help develop in my athletes. The other part of the versatility of the game is the different styles any game can take. There can be the bruising and physical game, the run and gun, full court presses, the defensive battle, half court offensive efficiency, the rebounding battle, and the transition game coming off of defensive prowess. The basketball player has to be able to play each of these styles effectively, often within the same game, and that is what makes basketball so fun. ✝ How does your relationship with Christ affect your ability to coach? My relationship with Christ provides the foundation of my coaching. I look at every athlete as a son of God, just like I am. At the same time, in the role of coach, you are entrusted with a discipling role. This is something I take very seriously and as intentionally as I can. FCA is a huge help in the preparation of coaches to effectively serve this role for our Athletes. 📖 What verse or Bible story helps you keep your eyes on God as you coach? My hope for all my athletes and in my sport is to be the salt of the earth and light of the world. It doesn't take a whole lot to stand out in the world of sports, which can be crass, prideful, cutthroat, and self serving. By bringing the demeanor, standards, and teachings of Christ to my work, I can serve a small role in being salt in light in a challenging environment.

It’s time for North Metro FCA’s “Huddle Highlight.” Check out what’s happening at Andover high school’s FCA. 📅 When and where does your huddle meet? We meet at Andover high school at 7am on Friday mornings. ✅ What do you typically do at your huddle meetings? First we always have donuts every time we meet. Next, we share how we have felt God touch and guide us since the last huddle. We then read a specific passage from the Bible, break it down, and reflect on what it is trying to say and how we can listen and use Gods word in our day to day life. Finally we end in prayer. 💙 In what ways has FCA served your school/community at large? The biggest way is that it has brought all of us together and helped us walk with Christ. In public school it can be really hard to find community and fellowship with other Christians and FCA has brought and continues to bring so many people together to study the word of God. We also have some service projects in the works to help out our community. 💭 If someone wanted to join your huddle, what should they do? You can just show up to any huddle and join us anytime and everyone is welcome. We recommend that you follow us on instagram (@andoverfca_ ) and join the group me through the link in our instagram bio. These two ways are how we communicate for any updates, huddles, and parties.

This month we have the privilege of introducing Andover High School's junior volleyball player, Lila Epp! Take a look at what Lila has to say about her life and involvement with FCA. 🏐 What hobbies/interests do you have? I play volleyball (school and club), and I'm in choir at school. I also take piano lessons, and I love all things music. 🎼 I really like hiking, camping ⛺️, watching sunsets, and getting coffee ☕ with friends! ✝️ Why did you decide to be involved with FCA?� I got involved with FCA freshman year, when my friend and I decided to start going to meetings. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone, and I I liked knowing there were people at my school who shared my faith, so that's really what made me want to get more involved! 💭 What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? I think FCA has helped me become a better teammate on the court because it's helping me take the focus off of myself and my performance, and instead shift it to encouraging my teammates and building them up. ⬆️ Off the court, it's helped me connect with people on a deeper level and make my relationships stronger, as well as helped me get more comfortable sharing my faith with those around me. 🙏 #fca #fcagreater @andoverfca_

Jack and Ethan lead PACT Charters first FCA meeting of the year! Great discussion on trusting God in our times of challenge! #fca #fcagreater

This month, we have the privilege of introducing Anoka High School's Huddle Coach, Greta Benson. Greta is an English Teacher at Anoka High School and was involved with swimming growing up. This is her first year supporting Anoka's FCA Huddle and we are incredibly grateful that she is part of our team! 1. How does your relationship with Christ affect your ability to coach? My hope is to always portray my relationship with Christ through my actions and deeds. We are called to be different (Romans 12:2) as we are guided by the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. So, even when I am not directly speaking the name of Christ to my students, I always want my actions to reflect His word and desire for us. My relationship with Christ is what guides how I advise and support my students. 2. What verse or Bible story helps you keep your eyes on God as you coach? As I enter into spaces where I have time with and influence on students, I like to remember the following verse: 1 Corinthians 6:19: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.” It is a reminder to me that our bodies are temples that now house the Holy Spirit. Our God, through the grace and blood of Jesus, is now accessible to us at all times. That is astounding! Our bodies (mind, words, & actions) have the ability to portray the work and words of God. I desire for that to be how I am as I work with students. 3. What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? FCA has offered a brand new way for me to minister to students in an accessible way. It has given me new strategies and new language to faith that allow me to better support students in a variety of different phases of their faith journey. In terms of sports and activities, I think that FCA allows both huddle leaders and students to remember that all that we are able to do should be done for the glory of God.

Amazing night at Elk River High School for Fields of Faith!!! Coach Cross shared a great message, Jayde her testimony, great worship, and @mamadelucaspizzeria supplied pizzas! #fof2023 #fca

In two days…6pm…Elk River High School…

We’ve show cased our “Coach’s Corner” & “Athlete Spotlight”; now it’s time for North Metro FCA’s “Huddle Highlight.” Check out what’s happening at Zimmerman high school’s FCA. 📅 When and where does your huddle meet? We meet every other Friday morning (opposite of Breakfast Club), in Mr. Bartlett’s classroom from 6:30 AM to 7AM. ✅ What do you typically do at your huddle meetings? We usually start off with our greeting and recap of the previous lesson, give a brief summary of the Breakfast Club message, and then open with prayer, have our lesson, and then close with prayer. 💙 In what ways has FCA served your school/community at large? It gives a connection for students to know that their faith is awesome and can be the light for others as well as the connection to community as we strive to serve others and grow as a student organization. 💭 If someone wanted to join your huddle, what should they do? All students are welcome to join our huddles. There are informative signs posted around school, as well as using Team App (communication tool) that our students securely sign up for so that we can always be connected as a group that supports one another. ↪ We are currently doing a youth study on the power of influence, who are our most influential people and how we can influence others.

The North Metro Board met this weekend at @capstonehomesmn for our Annual Retreat. We spent the day praying for our schools, celebrating the work God is doing, and planning for the year to come. We are immensely grateful for the members of our board who have invested in the ministry of FCA in the North Metro. If you or anyone you know are interested in learning more about our board reach out.

Starting safety and backup QB. 20 tackles [10 solo tackles/10 assists] and 2 pass break ups. 2️⃣ What hobbies/interests do you have? I really love to play football and hangout with my friends and just have fun in life. 3️⃣ Why did you decide to be involved with FCA? The reason I decided to join FCA is because as I was growing my faith in God, I saw this opportunity to grow it as a group with my team and other teams. 4️⃣ What difference does FCA make in connecting your faith and sport? I would say FCA has made a big impact with how I approach each game and practice. It’s like a gift that I get every day to play, and it has made me more grateful every day. #fca #fcagreater

Reppin’ North Metro FCA at Leadership Camp!!

After a week at Sports Camp, our campers are heading home. Would you join us in prayer as they return to their communities? Some with support systems in place; others will be returning with newfound faith. God knows every single one of our campers. He knows what they need, their apprehensions, and dreams. We thank the Lord that he has stirred the hearts of many here and we lift them up in prayer together. #FCAEvery

The job of a Huddle Leader is to be the hands and feet of Jesus. They spend nearly all waking hours pouring into their campers, athletically, emotionally, and spiritually. Tonight, many will leading conversations with their huddle regarding God's love for them and the opportunity campers have to choose a personal relationship with Jesus. Please join us in lifting them up in prayer! #FCAEvery

As you reflect on the school year and the coaches you have had (or the coach you were), what sticks out to you? Whether you are a current athlete, or one who had competed in the past, reach out to a coach and share how they impacted your life.

Tonight FCA Northern Metro Staff hosted "Coaches Night Out." Coaches from all over the Northern Metro dropped their kids off for "daycare" time while the coaches and spouses grabbed a thank you bag and gift card and had a night out on FCA! It was a great evening!!

We are #hiring! Come join our staff in the Northern Metro area serving Blaine, Spring Lake Park, and Fridley. We can't wait to have you on our team! #linkinbio

We need YOU to help us meet our goal!! Share this in your story to get the word out to others you know. Link in Bio

Mother's day is beautiful and complex. For some, this day brings joy and celebration, others heartache and longing, and still others no feelings at all. Yet, in spite of the various emotions this day brings, we are all reminded that our God is steadfast and his promises stand. He created mothers in a way that comforts unlike any other. God promises to comfort us, just as a mother does. "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you." – Isaiah 66:13 Where ever you are at today, know that the God who created the world knows you and can comfort you in a way that exceeds anything this world provides. You are loved.

Did you know that FCA has a specific prayer for every day of the month? Today's prayer is from Psalm 51:10 – "Lord, create clean hearts in our athletes and coaches and renew steadfast spirits within them." Daily Prayer resource link in bio. #NationalDayofPrayer
