Eastern Illinois FCA
Night of Impact 2026
Come hear what God is doing in the lives of coaches and athletes in our community at our biggest fundraising event of the year!What if you didn't have anything to prove?
Every athlete knows the pressure: earn the spot, win the starting role, hold onto the scholarship, be good enough. Our student-athlete panel brings together local high school athletes and college competitors who have lived that grind, and who will share what changed when they discovered they were already proven in Christ.
Hear honest, unscripted stories about what it looks like to go from performing for approval to living from the love of God. They'll talk about the wins and the losses, the exhaustion of striving, and how leading with character, integrity, and service flows from knowing who you belong to. You may be surprised by how closely their stories match your own.
Don't miss the chance to hear from the next generation of leaders, right in your own community. Come ready to be encouraged, and
leave seeing the athletes in your life in a whole new light.
Desserts will be served! There's no cost to attend, but there will be an opportunity to financially partner with the ministry and help more coaches and athletes go from proving their worth to living PROVEN in Him.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to attend?
Nothing! However, there will be an opportunity to financially partner with the ministry during the event. It’s our biggest fundraising event of the year! We do require that all guests register online to receive a table assignment.
What should I wear?
Typical dress is business casual. That said, it really doesn’t matter.
Can I bring my kids?
Unfortunately not. This is our only “adult only” event throughout the entire year. We want to maximize the number of adults in attendance to be able to influence kids throughout the rest of the year. If you’d like your kid(s) to get involved in the ministry, we’d love to talk with you. Give us a call!
