"My first exposure to FCA was in 2016 through a Leadership Camp where I continued to attend for numerous years as a camper and huddle leader. Those summers have truly been some of the most rewarding experiences as I’ve had the opportunity to see the Lord merge athletes’ and coaches’ love for the game with the life-changing power of the Gospel. FCA exists to engage, equip, and empower those in the sports realm to lead each and every individual into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. There is no limit to the impact that God can have through FCA ministry and your prayerful contributions make it all possible to grow the kingdom; thank you for your faithful partnership and support!"

“Sports are a gift; a gift from God that He has designed not to point solely to an individual’s or team’s talent or success, but to the God who has created all things for His glory. FCA helps direct players, coaches, and teams to the eternal treasure of knowing Jesus and how to obediently follow Him. As a former player, teacher, coach, and FCA huddle leader; I have witnessed God work in and through FCA. I have witnessed coaches encouraged, student leaders emboldened, athletes challenged and supported, volunteers who have willingly served, and relationships strengthened. God is at work and I am excited to be a part of the lasting impact that He will have through FCA in this area!”

"God is at work through FCA. I experienced this firsthand. I was saved through an FCA meeting in 1979. Immediately afterwards I joined a local huddle group and attended 2 FCA camps. I shudder to think where I would be without the influence of Christ’s love through FCA in my life. I look forward to the opportunity of sharing that same light to coaches and student-athletes in this area."
Dennis came on staff with FCA in 2008. He and his wife, Jan, have three adult children and two grandchildren.

"I am so humbled that God has given me the opportunity to serve on staff with FCA. Throughout my life I have had a strong passion for sports and competition. When Christ captured my heart in 8th grade, it became very clear to me that sports were not where I should place my identity. Sports were simply my vehicle to make Him known, to make His name great, not my own. I played a variety of sports in high school and had the opportunity to play college basketball at Spring Hill. I have coached girls basketball at Bayside Academy, and also for local travel ball teams. I graduated with a nursing degree in 2019. In March 2018, I married my best friend, Gavin Willisson. Gavin owns "No Off Season", an athletic training facility in Daphne. I love being a servant for Christ through the work of FCA!"
Sidney came on staff with FCA in 2019. She and Gavin have one child.

“At the age of 13, God placed a call on my life to full-time ministry. For 35 years, I served as a pastor's wife. I now count it all joy and a great privilege to serve on staff with the Southern Alabama FCA Team. The Good News of Jesus has the supernatural power to change hearts. Because of FCA huddles, camps, and events in south Alabama, we are witnessing the Gospel impacting the lives of athletes, coaches, and our communities. Jesus IS making a difference and it is beautiful!”
