Ukraine Christian Soccer Academy | FC Family of Christ International

Youth Soccer Academy in Ukraine

At Family of Christ International, we combine our experience and passion with the appeal of soccer, Ukraine's most popular sport, to reach out to young people and their families who may never attend a church, and share the love of Jesus Christ.

Mission

Our goal is to instill integrity and Christian values in the lives of young people right where they love to be – on the soccer field. Ultimately, we pray each person who plays a role in the academy will come to know the love of Christ through a personal, saving relationship with Him.

Vision

Our vision is to continue ministering to young people who want to work hard and be successful in life, both on and off the field. Through soccer, we are preparing the next generation to make an impact in their communities, throughout the world, and in the kingdom of God.
