Our Ministry Team
Michelle Carmical
Director for Emerald Coast
Our team is dedicated to promoting the transformative power of Jesus Christ through coaches and athletes. We aim to deepen relationships with Jesus and His church, grounded in Integrity, Service, Teamwork, and Excellence.
We engage with local schools to support our multi-sport programs in Okaloosa/Walton County and have established the Student Leadership Board to lead student-led FCA huddles.
Our initiatives include 3D Coaching/360 Coaching and the FCA Character Coaching program, utilizing volunteers to build connections in team sports.
We focus on exceptional leadership within FCA, expanding into new areas to establish school huddles or community huddles and strengthening our discipleship ministry. We encourage involvement as mobilized volunteers, board members, or donors to share the Gospel in schools and communities while upholding our "CORE" values.

DARLENE JOHNSON
FCA BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIR
“This is one of the most worthwhile areas of service I have ever been a part of in my entire life, and that is no exaggeration. My life has more meaning for the Kingdom of God because I’m part of this board. It’s such a valuable and valiant pursuit for anyone who feels called to serve on this platform where you can truly make a difference in helping to guide and direct others to the Lord Jesus Christ first, and then to equip them for the work of ministry and discipling others.”
FCA is led by individuals like you who give their time and talents to advance the Kingdom by
serving on a leadership board.
Board members expand FCA’s ministry with their experience, support and passion.
Some of the nation’s most well-respected and admired men and women (and some of the biggest names in sports) have served on an FCA board beginning with our Board of Trustees, but also the now hundreds of local boards. Critical to our more than 65-year history are the thousands of committed men and women who have volunteered as local board members.
It takes leaders driven to support FCA at every level to fulfill our vision.
Board members engage their decision-making skills to move FCA in the right direction, keep it Christ-centered, and ensure it executes our Core Values. Are you driven to see coaches and athletes reached for Christ? Perhaps God is calling you to join a board.
BOARD DISCRIPTION:
• LOCAL BOARDS: support the local staff through prayer, fundraising and discipleship
BOARD MEMBER QUALIFICATIONS:
To serve on an FCA board of any type, we ask for:
• Personal belief in and commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
• Intentional prayer support for the ministry.
• Commitment to further FCA’s Vision and Mission.
• Abide by FCA’s Values: Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence.
• Agree and embrace FCA’s Statement of Faith and position statements.
BOARD ROLES:
Each local board is led by FCA Director and Board Chair who leads the board members
and meetings. The other members of the board join leadership teams,
which can include:
• MINISTRY TEAM: design, support and execute the ministry plan.
