Lions United is an affiliated student organization with the purpose of uniting all student-athletes on campus with the mindset that identity is not in their sport but in Jesus Christ. This is done by bringing together two of the most impact sports ministries in the world, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and Athletes in Action (AIA). Lions United hosts 3-5 “huddles” per semester and fellowships and outreaches with students sharing their testimony in local middle and high school FCA huddles and other opportunities. Ultimately, Lions United desires to be a discipleship ministry where athletes and coaches can grow in their faith in Jesus and, in turn, desire to share Jesus with others.
