Ever wonder who Buckeye Border is? Where did we come from? Who do we reach?
Buckeye Border FCA is part of the Northwest Ohio Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Matt Yeager is the Area Director for Northwest Ohio and oversees 24 counties. As one can imagine, 24 counties is too much for one person. Thus, the beginning of Buckeye Border! Our ministry focuses on five of those 24 counties: Fulton, Henry, Defiance, Paulding, and Williams Counties. Seeing that we lie on the borders of Michigan and Indiana, it seemed natural to be called Buckeye Border FCA, which also distinguishes us from our Northwest Ohio office. Although our offices are separated by location, we serve together in impacting Northwest Ohio.
The Buckeye Border office is currently located in Wauseon. We have no official office building at this time, as we meet in coffee shops, and remain on the road daily.
We praise God for the opportunity to know have two counties from southern Michigan to our area; Lenawee and Hillsdale counties.
Our Buckeye Border office has a leadership team (Board of directors) that oversees the ministries, finances, and development of our area. This leadership team meets quarterly as a whole and monthly in teams. These men and women are devoted to God and the ministry of FCA in our area and have helped launch us in the right direction.
Our Vision To see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches.
Our Mission To present to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church.
Our Values Our relationships will demonstrate steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word through...Integrity, Serving, Teamwork, and Excellence.
