Emerald Acres Sports Connection is proud to announce a new partnership with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), strengthening its commitment to being more than just a destination for sports. This collaboration introduces new opportunities for athletes, coaches, and families to connect on a deeper level, growing not only in their athletic abilities but also in their personal and spiritual lives.
At Emerald Acres, the mission has always been to create a home for both elite competition and community engagement. The partnership with FCA expands that vision by providing on-site programming where coaches, mentors, and families can come together in a supportive, purpose-driven environment. “Emerald Acres is thrilled to join with FCA in this effort to serve families and athletes in our community,” said Tyler Yoder, General Manager of Emerald Acres Sports Connection. “Together, we’re creating a place where sports and faith intersect, offering opportunities for growth that will last long after the final whistle.”
As a long-standing community partner, Rural King and the RK Foundation for Rural America continue to champion initiatives that bring families together and strengthen values across the region.
“Rural King and the RK Foundation for Rural America are honored to support the new partnership between Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Emerald Acres. Families both locally and from across the Midwest will now have more opportunities to gather, grow, and strengthen their faith while at the facility.
We believe strong communities are built on faith, service, and connection. We’re grateful to be part of a community that supports organizations like FCA and events like Harvest of Hope that bring people together for lasting impact,” said Amy Shafer, RK Foundation Director.
