Jonathan Thie: Long-time Member of FCA

Jonathan Thie has spent seven years of his life as an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).  Throughout his high school years and a portion of his college years, Jonathan Thie was an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

For those who aren’t familiar with FCA, it’s a nationwide organization that focuses on promoting Christianity and Christian values (like good sportsmanship, honesty, and integrity).  Students typically meet once a week to hear a speaker or to worship together.

Like many of his high school peers, Jonathan Thie wasn’t only a member of FCA.  He also became a member of Campus Crusade for Christ in 2001, as he entered college.  Thie’s experience with Campus Crusade for Christ was another important experience in his college career.

FCA was an integral part of Thie’s high school and college experience.  He volunteered with the organization, regularly participated as a member, and also made many friends through the group.  It seems that not too much has changed for Jonathan Thie, who is still an athlete and at a Christian school today.

Jonathan Thie is currently the Head Coach of the men’s tennis team at St. Thomas More, a Catholic high school in South Dakota.  As the head coach, Jonathan Thie doesn’t just try to make his players better tennis players, he also tries to push them to become better people.

Jonathan Thie thinks that his years of experience in FCA have helped him understand just a little bit more of what it means to be a great athlete and a strong Christian.  He hopes to inspire his students to not only be better tennis players, but also to hold themselves to higher principles and standards of integrity, honesty, and sportsmanship.
