The Gallatin Valley is well known as a destination for Action Sports and Outdoors enthusiasts. Thousands of students choose to attend Montana State University each year so they can partake in activities like skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hunting, and fishing in their free time. Ministry opportunities in these environments are unlimited.

The primary ministerial responsibilities for this position will be in the Action Sports and Outdoors environments. The ability to create authentic relationships with athletes, coaches, and volunteers in the spaces unique to those two communities is essential.  The ability to develop relationships/partnerships with other ministries, businesses, and individuals to increase FCA's ministry capacity and impact within the Action Sports and Outdoors spaces is also highly desired.
