How to start a Huddle:
1. Pray. Seek the Lord's will for your area and the calling God has put in your heart. Pray for His ministry in your area, and for those he would bring to serve and be ministered to/through this Huddle.
2. Read the Huddle Guide. Investigate FCA Endurance and endurance Huddles through exploring this website, FCA's website, and the Huddle Guide (download below). While we don't expect anyone to be an "expert" right out of the blocks, it would be beneficial to explore what you are prayerfully considering committing to.

3. Research Existing Huddles. It obviously makes sense to join a Huddle that’s already going if one exists. This saves time and other resources, as well as unites more individuals under one banner. This includes both FCA-E Huddles (listed to the left) and other Adult Huddles. If there is already an Adult Huddle in your area, talk to its leaders about joining. Perhaps you could run an endurance component to what they are already doing. Again, we’re just trying to unite people interested in ministry through sports. To see if there are any regular adult Huddles in your area, contact your local FCA staff person. If you don’t know who this is, their contact information is available by going to http://www.fca.org/ and clicking on “Find Local FCA Staff” on the right side. You'll also be working with local staff regularly so now is a great time to begin this relationship!
4. Have all of the Leaders (or potential Leaders) fill out a FCA Ministry Leader Application (MLA). This can be done easily online at www.fca.org/hotpicks/mla.lsp Once you have completed the MLA, please let Chris Anderson know.
5. Contact Chris Anderson (through the form below) to discuss your heart, calling, and local vision, as well as to go over your MLA and any questions you have after reading the Huddle Guide (step 2 above).
6. Certify the Huddle. This can be done by calling Chris Anderson at 605-335-7555.
Certification lasts 1 year and expires on Aug 31. Renewal is done through Chris Anderson.
