The Four Types of Fellowship in Christian Athlete Ministries



Over the course of his career, Brad Snellings has founded and led businesses focused on providing services ranging from background screening to financial services. In addition to his professional responsibilities, Brad Snellings lends his support to such organizations as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is an international organization headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, and is active all over the world. The organization works with organized sports teams at all levels, from youth to professional.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is organized along four different types of ministries. These ministries are called the “Four C’s” and are: coaches, campus, camp, and community.

A coach’s ministry is strictly for Christian coaches and follows the general guideline that Christianity should be at the core of athletic leadership. A campus ministry is certified by the Fellowship and led by student-athletes. Camp ministries are also certified by the fellowship and focus on a specific training experience. Finally, community ministries bring a Christian message to a larger audience through sports.
