Northland Region Every Generation Campaign

Together, we can usher in a fresh move of the Lord in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. 
Over the next three years, we aim to see thousands of coaches and athletes grow in Jesus as result of the initiatives we are committing to Expand Sports Environments in our region. 
 With prayer, service and generous financial support we know that achieving these goals are possible!

View of The Northland

The Northland Region is comprised of 1,383 High School and College Campuses. Our 10 Year Target is aimed at mobilizing an FCA volunteer on each of these campuses with the goal of sharing Jesus and making disciples.


Beyond campuses, there are countless opportunities to minister in off campus settings through League and Club Sports, Action Sports, Motor Sports, Outdoor Sports, Pro and Elite Sports and All Ability Sports. Our strategy for disciple making allows FCA to be effective in each of these environments.


As we continue to strive to stay relevant in the sports world, we are seeking funding for an Every Generation Campaign around 3 critical areas; People, Programs, and Places.

Sports Facilities Companies

God has called FCA to reach “Every” coach and athlete. 
This powerful mission has launched FCA into a new adventure of launching ministry in off campus environments. 

Today, 60 million athletes participate in youth sports with a huge percentage of those happening in an off campus setting like League and Club Sports. With this new adventure, we are exploring opportunities to have FCA facilities to host these new opportunities. 

We have partnered with Sports Facilities Companies (SFA) to help us process through these opportunities. We are seeking $20,000 for each of our 4 states to cover the cost of the initial assessment stage for these facilities. If this initial phase makes it clear that we have a need for the facility, then we will launch a campaign to help meet the long-term need for the facility.
