"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!"

Maddie came on staff with FCA in 2022. She graduated with her Bachelor's in Kinesiology at the University of Mobile where she played volleyball, also.

“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!”

Justin came on staff with FCA in 2021. He and his wife, Amy, have four children.

"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.

Wayland Blake

 "I was raised in a Christian home with Godly parents, became a Christian and was baptized at the age of 10. However, I was influenced in a positive way as much or more by my coaches, whose leadership and encouragement guided me as I entered the coaching profession. My experiences as a player, coach, father, and grandfather allow a unique perspective into the importance of the positive influence that high school and middle school coaches have while working with today’s student athletes. I look forward to ministering within the framework of the FCA as they encourage and support coaches in South Baldwin County."

Wayland came on staff with FCA in 2020. He and his wife of 52 years, Marsha, have three adult children and five grandchildren.

Sidney Willisson

"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 an infant son.

“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!”

Karen came on staff with FCA in 2010. She and her husband, Mike, have four children and seven grandchildren.
