MINNEAPOLIS URBAN AREA PROSPECTIVE STAFF | LGUSTAFSON@FCA.ORG | 320-815-7016

Ever since my senior year in high school I’ve known that I want to work in ministry. Through a volunteer position in my youth group as a middle school small group leader, God laid on my heart a passion for discipleship and cultivating community. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to work in youth ministry in a number of different settings.

I’ve also been in love with sports since I was just a little kid (I’m told that when I was a baby I would sleep with a basketball rather than a stuffed animal). Throughout my life they have been a vehicle not only for fun, but for learning valuable life lessons such as discipline, humility, work ethic, and more.

By joining FCA, God has opened a door for me to combine my love of sports with my passion for ministry. I believe sports have a way of connecting people and serve as a common language between people who may come from completely different social, economic, ethnic, or geographical backgrounds. My role at FCA will be to use basketball as a vehicle to build meaningful relationships with coaches and athletes in the North Minneapolis area with the goal of leading them towards a relationship with Jesus.

Your financial and prayerful support would help me to accomplish our mission of inviting athletes and coaches into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you for considering partnering with me in ministry, I would love to have you on my home team!
