Lunch Huddles in Elementary Schools
God Is on the Move in Our Public Schools!
FCA Fellowship of Christian Athletes is expanding,
introducing huddles in elementary schools for all children, not just athletes.
Help Your Kids Find Christian Friends
A huddle will help your child find friends who share their God-given identity and Christian values. These friendships can provide a foundation of support and help your child stay grounded in the faith and resist any unbiblical influences.
Christian Huddles bring love, faith, and joy into schools by creating a supportive environment for students to explore and develop their faith. Huddles focus on building relationships, developing character, and learning about the teachings of Jesus Christ.
FCA Huddles
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) hosts huddles in over 7,000 schools across the United States. These huddles are no longer exclusive to athletes--everyone is welcome! In elementary schools, they are fully non-athletic Christian huddles.
Meetings take place during non-instructional times, such as before or after school or even during lunch.
The following organizations support Christian clubs and huddles:
“If it weren’t for my faith, I would not be here.”

Schools are still welcoming Christian huddles, so let’s make the most of this opportunity—especially now that FCA is starting huddles in elementary schools and helping to open doors with its reputable name.

Lunch FCA Huddles
What? Kids gather around the lunch table with other Christian students to build friendships and engage in conversations about God or listen to inspiring faith-based stories shared by a mom or huddle leader.
We provide parents with the necessary information to sign their child up.
When? Huddles usually take place once a week during the 20-30 minute lunch break, running for 6-8 weeks each semester.
They can be themed, such as:
Parents are welcome to drop in or stay during the huddle. Participation is free, and we’re also seeking parent volunteers for those interested in helping out.

Moms, Will You Join Us? 😊
Are you a Christian mom looking for a meaningful way to connect with your child at school and help them build friendships with other Christian kids? Consider coming to school once a week to share lunch with your child and a small group of Christian students. During this time, you’ll lead a brief devotional, guiding them in their faith.
This commitment is simple:
✔ Just 6 to 8 weeks in the fall and spring
✔ Spend 30 minutes once a week during their lunch break
✔ We will send out sign-up information to parents and take care of the logistics
✔ We provide guidance for you and secure approval from the principal together
✔ You’ll receive a roster with the names of the participating kids
This is a special opportunity to strengthen your bond with your child and support them and their friends on their Christian journey.
Many grandmas, youth leaders, and pastors play a key role in leading huddles. Some also organize them as after-school clubs, with separate huddles for K-2nd grade students and 3rd-5th grade students
