DWIGHT NELSON

Dwight grew up in Clearbrook, MN, and now lives in Ramsey. He played basketball and ran track in high school, and ran track in college. Dwight graduated with an English Literature degree from Bethel College and returned for his education coursework. He taught at Meadow Creek/Legacy Christian Academy for twenty-one years where he was both the head boys basketball and head track coach, and he coached women’s basketball at Bethel University for thirteen years. He has also served in full time ministry with Constance Free Church and as a Regional Presenter for 3 Dimensional Coaching. 

Dwight’s passion for Jesus Christ and discipleship steered him from work with orphanage ministries in Juarez, Mexico and training and discipling coaches in Zambia, to leading and mentoring FCA discipleship groups in the North Metro. Dwight’s heart for Jesus led him to full time ministry with FCA in 2023, where he seeks to engage coaches’, athletes’, and parents’ hearts with the gospel and train disciples who, in turn, make disciples who transform their courts, fields and world.
