9:00am-1:00pm- Farmer's Market Ride and Fellowship

We will meet in front of Scheels at Jordan Creek Mall at 9am.  This cycling ride is about 13 miles to the downtown farmer's market and is a moderate pace ride for fun.  We will be meeting at the Farm Boyz stand for breakfast and fellowship.  Afterwards we will ride back together.  You can meet and ride with us at Scheels or you can ride from your own location and meet us at the Farm Boyz stand for breakfast.  Look for the cool yellow jersey.  Hope to see you there!

FCA Endurance-Des Moines

Who We Are: FCA Endurance is a Sports Ministry of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) dedicated to ministering to and through endurance sports.

Our Vision: To Impact: To see the endurance 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 Purpose: To unite and equip.  We are uniting and equipping Christian endurance athletes to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and share that faith with others.

Our Plan: Teamwork: God is bringing together a National Team of Christian endurance athletes who love the Lord, love their sport, and feel called to impact those within their sport for Jesus Christ.  Through coming together, those on the Team are able to experience the countless blessings of the Christian community with those whom they share an endurance passion.  More importantly, we are able to have a much bigger impact on the endurance world together than we could as individuals.
