Re Knight’s journey with Christ began through the ministry of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), making the mission of FCA deeply personal and close to his heart. Having experienced firsthand the life-changing impact of a Christ-centered community, Re is passionate about helping coaches and athletes grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and discover their God-given purpose.

A graduate of Prairie View A&M University and a proud United States Army Infantry veteran, Re has dedicated his life to serving others through leadership, mentorship, and faith. His experiences in both the military and ministry have shaped his commitment to developing leaders of character, integrity, and strong faith.

Re married his wife, Mia, on December 29, 2017, and together they are raising three wonderful children: Reign, Kash, and Ryze. Family is at the center of everything they do, and they are grateful for the opportunity to serve and grow together while investing in the lives of others.

Caren Vercilien is honored to serve with FCA at Texas State University alongside her husband.

Because of the life-changing impact FCA has had on their own faith journeys, they are passionate about sharing the Gospel and investing in the lives of coaches and athletes, praying that others will experience the same transformational relationship with Christ.
