FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES REVEALS NEWEST MEMBERS OF HALL OF CHAMPIONS FOR DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE MINISTRY

 

(Kansas City, MO) – The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the world’s largest sports ministry, which relies heavily on the work of volunteers, elects several of those individuals into its Hall of Champions each year.  Four people who made a tremendous impact on the ministry were announced today as the Class of 2010.

 

FCA’s Hall of Champions was established in 1991 to honor individuals who have demonstrated a consistent commitment to Jesus Christ through the ministry of FCA.  They are considered volunteer “All Stars” who have given above and beyond the call of duty and have upheld the Four Core Values of FCA:  Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence. 

 

The recipients are determined each year by an FCA Selection Committee following a nomination process that includes staff, volunteers, athletes and the organization’s Board of Trustees.

 

The Class of 2010 includes:  Donn Moomaw, former UCLA football star and College Hall of Fame inductee; Jim Scroggins, longtime high-school football coach and athletic director; Sue Semrau, Florida State University head women’s basketball coach; and Ken Smith, former coach and pastor Emeritus at First Baptist Church of Wauchula (Fla.).

 

Each member of the 2010 Class has had an influential impact on FCA as a Huddle leader, volunteer or speaker.  They join a prestigious list of 68 other inductees into the FCA Hall of Champions, taking their place among the great individuals who have used the FCA platform to make a dramatic impact on lives.

 

Each inductee will be honored with a plaque bearing a sculpture of their likeness that will remain in the Hall of Champions in FCA’s National Support Center in Kansas City.  A replica will be presented to the honoree at an appropriate special event sometime this year.

 

Commenting on the selections, FCA President and CEO Les Steckel said, “These four special individuals each have dedicated their lives, their families and their careers to Jesus Christ. As they volunteered with FCA over a great many years, they have had a dramatic impact on changing lives and the culture of sport.”
