Meet the experts behind our ministry
Area Director

843-685-1479
Brian is a U.S. Army veteran who joined FCA after spending 15 years in the Myrtle Beach golf industry, where he led teams at local courses along the Grand Strand. Initially, Brian ran from his calling to ministry, but eventually surrendered to it. He briefly served as an Area Representative for the St. James and Aynor areas before feeling that God had more in store for him. Recognizing the value of the leadership skills he had developed in the business world, he sought to apply them for the Lord’s work. After prayer and counsel, Brian discovered the joy of walking in obedience and pursued the position of Area Director for FCA in Horry County.
A native of North Carolina (Go Pack!), Brian has lived in the southern Carolina for 16 years. He and his wife, Jennifer, have been married for 15 years and have two children. They are active at the Rock Church – South Strand Campus, where they both serve.
Brian is eager to fulfill the vision and mission of FCA by reaching EVERY coach and athlete in Horry County for Jesus Christ.

Coastal SC Fishing

His ministry focuses on organizing Fishing Huddles, which connect fishing activities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These huddles are held at churches, with plans for events at piers, ponds, and docks. Rayburn is also the founder and director of the Student Angler League, a youth fishing league that specializes in redfish and bass fishing. Additionally, he established the Tiger Anglers, a community club in Conway that has won six state bass championships.

Coastal Carolina University
Area Director
Caleb serves as the Area Director at Coastal Carolina University, where he ministers to and engages with the coaches, athletes, and students on campus.
After stepping away from the college environment for a year following his graduation, Caleb realized how much he missed the energy and connection he had with students. It was during this time that Jesus opened the door for him to enter full-time ministry, allowing him to serve the Coastal Carolina campus. Having experienced a spiritual rebirth during his own college years, Caleb developed a deep passion for this age group and is dedicated to walking alongside them through the transformative experience of college life. Go Chants!

FCA Football
Coaches Ministry
Coach Jordan was first introduced to FCA in 1972 as a young athlete by his high school football coach. He learned then that coaching is a powerful mission field, and FCA is an excellent vehicle for leveraging sports for this purpose. Coach Jordan loved both the Lord and sports, so FCA felt like a natural fit for me.
Over the years, he has witnessed many athletes come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ through FCA's influence. Now, as a retired athlete and coach, he believes there is still significant work to be done in our schools and athletic fields across America. He hopes to use the experiences and skills gained over the years to empower athletes and coaches to seek Jesus Christ.
