What is Clare FCA like?

High School Huddle:

Every Wednesday morning in the library, we have a different guest speaker come and share an encouraging message from the Bible about Jesus for usually around 10-15 minutes. We have an excellent pool of parents, coaches, teachers, business owners, and pastors who rotate speaking and investing in the lives of the next generation. If you are interested in speaking to the students, please call or text Pastor Jonathan at 734-502-6634. 

 

Middle School Huddle:

The huddle is always about Jesus Christ, but the methods differ from week to week. Every month, we have a different theme. Every week, the focus of the middle school huddle changes to keep things fresh and inticing. We like to call this our Focus Four: 1. Game; 2. Message; 3. Groups; 4. Music. Each week, the focus will be on one of the four, all supporting the monthly theme. 

1. Game: Dodgeball, varations of tag, etc.

2. Message: We share a 15-20 minute message, straight from the Bible. 

3. Groups: Students get into small groups to discuss what was shared last week at the message.

4. Music: We do live music in the Middle School Auditorium! This can range from contemporary worship music to Christian hip hop. It's always about giving God glory. 

**NOTE**: We tell students ahead of time when the Music Week is so they know we will meet in the Auditorium. It's typically the 4th Wednesday of the month. 

 

Primary School Huddle:

Live, Kids Worship. Enaging memory verses. Fun Bible Lessons.  Goofy characters. Parents are welcome to come and see! Kids will walk away encouraged to live for Jesus with God's word hidden in their heart.

Our Legacy

Clare FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) is a Christian club and outreach ministry supported by the community that meets in Clare Public Schools on a weekly basis. The Clare FCA huddle is the longest standing huddle in Michigan, beginning in 1972 by Mr. Jim Bedford. Floyd Fletham led the huddle for 19 years. He paved the way for Mrs. Bonnie Rae Walter to lead the huddle for 30 years before graciously handing the leadership to Jonathan and Addy Harper.
