Impact City FC programs strategically engage professionals, youth, and grassroots players in each city.
- Pro Chaplains: We place and train chaplains at local professional teams that provide environments for players to be cared for in difficult times, find wisdom for daily life, ask spiritual questions, grow in their faith, and serve the world.
- Elite Club Soccer: Our club teams compete in the highest levels of youth soccer nationwide. Impact City FC’s licensed Christian coaches deliver our age-appropriate soccer curriculum and spiritual leadership training to the next generation.
- City Reach: City Reach provides high-quality free programming for underserved communities in urban areas. Our grassroots approach provides accessibility and opportunities for children to play in a safe and supportive environment that points them to Jesus, teaches valuable life skills, and promotes an active lifestyle.
- Missions Experience: Missions Experiences give players and coaches from our programs a chance to use their gifts and talents to serve others outside of their normal context. So often, this change of place and pace provides an entirely different perspective for their future. From South America to the South Pacific, we send them out to the ends of the earth to love those who are hurting and in need.
- Impact Coaching Academy: In response to the growing need for more workers, we have curated the world’s best instructors to create a nationally recognized online certification course. The course is designed to train others to develop world-changing leaders from the professional to grassroots level through the game of soccer.
OUR STORY
It all began with a willingness to make a difference. This willingness is at the heart of who we are. We continually make ourselves available to serve others locally and globally. Long before a global vision existed, we were willing to serve a local community; that is just what we did.A small group of people sacrificed to turn a piece of land at a church in St. Louis, MO, into a soccer field that could be used to make an eternal impact. That small group of people enlisted coaches who made themselves available to love and serve youth players and their families.
Opportunities arose throughout the city to serve refugees through weekly neighborhood outreach and professional players through chaplaincy meetings. Soon, we found ourselves sending players and coaches overseas on missions experiences. Little did we know then that what was happening in St. Louis would become a model for transformation in cities everywhere.
All because of a willingness to make a difference.
