Area Representative
Employer: Fellowship of Christian Athletes
Location: Mantua Township / Gloucester County area, NJ
Type: Full-time — missionary/ministry role (support-raising required)
What You’ll Do:
• Implement the FCA ministry plan for the assigned area in partnership with the Director and Advisory Team.
• Recruit, train, and develop volunteers to lead coaches and athletes toward a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and the local church.
• Provide spiritual leadership through 1-on-1 discipleship, huddles, events, prayer, Bible study, and worship.
• Build and steward a Home Team and donor relationships; develop and execute an annual funding plan and budget.
• Oversee volunteer development, advisory team engagement, and local ministry operations.
• Participate in local church life and represent FCA standards and policies in all ministry activity.
Why It Stands Out:
• Mission-focused role with clear impact on youth, coaches, and sports communities.
• Significant leadership and relationship-building responsibilities (volunteer development, donor stewardship, advisory team).
• FCA provides training support (including support-raising bootcamp).
• Hands-on ministry with opportunities to train, equip, and mentor others.
Potential Trade-offs:
• This is a full-time missionary position requiring you to raise 100% of your ministry support (fundraising expectations are high).
• Strong alignment with FCA’s Christian Community Statement and lifestyle expectations is required.
• Role includes administrative and financial stewardship duties in addition to ministry work.
• Irregular hours likely (events, practices, community activities); travel around the area may be required.
Qualifications / Requirements:
• Agreement with and commitment to FCA’s Christian beliefs and Community Statement.
• Practice daily spiritual rhythms (prayer, Bible study) and active church participation.
• Ability to recruit, train, and develop volunteers and donors.
• Experience leading spiritual programming, events, or volunteer teams preferred.
• Willingness and ability to complete support-raising (FCA provides bootcamp training).
Perks / Benefits:
• Deep vocational impact and leadership development in faith-based ministry.
• Training provided (support-raising bootcamp and ministry resources).
• Opportunity to shape local sports ministry and build community partnerships.

Would you take this job?
If you were applying, what would be your top three non-negotiables: (A) guaranteed base support or salary before fundraising, (B) a clear timeline and mentorship plan for reaching full funding, or (C) a hybrid role balance with some salaried admin/fundraising support? Which would you pick and why — and what would you ask the hiring team before accepting (expected fundraising timeline, examples of current Home Team support, or a sample weekly schedule)?
