Fuller Seeing Growth
Pat Lynch • May 1, 2025
Peter Fuller serves as the FCA Area Director for the Coastal Counties of Humboldt and Del Norte. Peter is a former college All-American water polo goalie and a business management professional. He is in his second year on staff with FCA and seeing growth as the Lord opens opportunities for him to speak at schools, churches, and men's groups.
He has helped to launch Mult-Sport Huddles on the high school campuses of Fortuna and Del Norte and recruited three initial members of his Leadership Advisory Board. He has entered into discussions with a local church pastor regarding partnering with them in ministering to students attending the College of the Redwoods.
We are so proud and excited for the strides Peter and his board have made in the Coastal Counties of the CA North State.

The Annual FCA Golf Tournament is held every September at Gold Hills Golf Club in Redding. The event is always a load of fun for all and raises support for the general fund and special projects for the CA North State FCA ministry. We want to encourage you to consider being a sponsor or participant.
One of the benefits of membership in the "Pacific Southwest Region" (CA, NV, and HI) is when the rotation takes the Director Summit to Hawaii (3/31-4/3). FCA Directors spent four days in training and staff development at the Pu'uhonua Farm Retreat managed by FCA Hawaii State Director Daniel Rich. It is always great to "Hang Loose" and get recharged being together.
Director Norm Slosted spoke to a group of Simpson University students last month about the confidence we can have in knowing God will NEVER leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8.) "To often," Slosted suggested, "we rally the committed duty of believers before establishing the foundational truth of God's covenant commitment to them. It is HIS unconditional and unfailing commitment to us that warrants our confidence and courage." Simpson is a Christian university located in the center of the CA North State and continues to be a meaningful partner in ministry with FCA.
Night of Champions (NOC) is the CA North State FCA's signature Spring event sponsored in partnership with Simpson University. The third annual NOC was held this year on Saturday, March 29th. The event drew high school students from around the North State to an evening of food, fun, and fellowship. Students heard personal testimonies from elite athletes regarding their relationship with Jesus Christ and a challenge to grow in their spiritual walk. This year's line-up included the Simpson University Chapel Worship Team, USA Women's Discus Thrower Elena Bruckner, former NFL Cincinnati Bengal Brad St. Louis, and former NFL Chicago Bear Steve Connor. God was faithful to touch the lives of dozens of students who came forward for prayer or to receive Christ for the first time. Check out the highlight video here.
What are you chasing? Championships, fame, fortune, love, acceptance? All of us are chasing something that we believe will ultimately fulfill us and cement our legacy. At some point, we will find that these things still leave us empty and weighed down. This year, let's chase Someone and not something. In 2025, let's discover a GLORY that never fades, that frees us to go all out on and off the field to reflect love and hope for others! Become grounded in your identity: ➡️ Dive into God's Word with the 4-day "Glory" devotional. ➡️ Receive monthly, impactful content. ➡️ Get your free "What Are You Chasing?" book here ⬇️ https://fcaglory.org #FCAGLORY
BOY do we appreciate these people at CSU Chico!!! They had seriously so much fun at their FCA Christmas party this year! They celebrated the end of an awesome semester with a potluck, (where everyone brought WAY too much food… who would have thought that athletes aren’t actually a bottomless pit?!?), a hilarious white elephant gift exchange (some gifts are seen in the photo), and the 2nd annual FCA Winter Games! They have the goofiest crowd. Becca decided to give everyone elf names instead of their real names on name tags, hence why FCA Ministry Leader Sarah Allen is named “Dumplin” in the photo-- lololo. Everyone just has so much fun with each other! This semester has been so much fun with them, and leaders Brendan and Sarah Allen are excited to see what God has in store next semester for FCA at CSU Chico!
