Code Red Talk with Zach Terry ️Uniting Faith & Sports in Northeast Florida! ⛳️⚾️

In this powerful episode of Code Red Talk, Pastor Zach Terry sits down with two dynamic leaders from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA): Andrew Baker and Matt Roop . Together, they unpack how God is using the world of sports as a mission field to reach coaches and athletes across Northeast Florida.

Andrew Baker has been faithfully serving with FCA since 2012 and currently leads as the Area Director for Baker & Nassau Counties. He's also the visionary behind FCA Baseball NE Florida, where he's discipling young athletes through the sport he loves. ⚾️

⛳️ Matt Roop began his journey with FCA in 2010 and now serves as the Multi-Area Director for Northeast Florida, overseeing ministry efforts across Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties. From his early days with FCA Golf Camps to building a region-wide ministry team, Matt’s heart beats for seeing every coach and athlete come into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. ⛳️
