Allen Thompson has been serving with FCA in one capacity or another since 2011.

Allen came on staff full time in September 2019. Allen has been married to his wife Wendy for 21 years and they have a son, Matthew (11) and a daughter, Hannah (10).

“My call to FCA started with my call into ministry in 2004. Over the last 16 years I have served God by helping plant a church, serving as an interim and youth pastor, serving as a senior pastor for 2 local churches, and ultimately culminated in my call to come on staff with FCA. Like so many others, my love for sports and God started as a child and both have been a part of my life ever since. I was a high school and collegiate golfer, and spent 4 years as a golf professional prior to getting married to Wendy. I have been blessed to be called a husband, father, and pastor, but there is just something special about being called coach. I know firsthand the influence a coach has on the players they serve, so serving coaches and athletes with FCA is something that provides me an opportunity to make a greater impact for the Kingdom of God than I could have ever imagined.”
