Welcome Amy Pointer, Director of West Georgia

Amy Pointer is the West GA FCA Area Director and has been passionately dedicated to FCA since 2018. Before joining FCA, she spent 14 years as a high school softball coach and world history teacher at Bremen High School. In September of last year, she became the director after serving as an area representative for community and club sports, as well as schools in Haralson County. With over 25 years of coaching experience, she continues to coach travel ball with 9:13 Athletics.


Amy is married to Nolan, who owns and operates Gateway Printing in Bremen, Georgia. Together, they have five children—Erin, Olivia, Ragan, Amilee, and Ty—and two grandchildren, Lucas and Joanna. Both Amy and Nolan share a passion for coaching softball and enjoy celebrating their anniversary by traveling to Oklahoma City for the Softball College World Series.


Gardening is one of Amy's great loves. She finds joy in preparing the soil, planting seeds, and nurturing them until harvest, experiencing precious moments with Jesus in her garden. She also loves reading and, most importantly, studying the Word of God. Sundays are her favorite time of the week, as she delights in having family dinners with her children. Although all their daughters are grown and out of the house, Amy loves cooking for the whole family, especially using produce from her garden.


A significant turning point in Amy's FCA journey occurred at The Huddle For Women event a few years ago.



"Debbie Jobe was speaking to us on the last night, and she challenged us to walk in leadership roles the Lord was calling us to. I had sworn off ever being a director of any kind (I love being in the field!), but after that moment, doors began to open and confirmations began coming. The power of her words that night have rippled throughout the last 2 years, and even though half the time I’m not real sure what I’m doing, the Lord does… and that’s good enough for me. I love the team I’m leading and the people we serve together, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside some of the greatest people I’ve ever known. The people who have been brought into my life because of FCA have been such a blessing to me and my family, and I look forward to what the Lord has for us on our Atlanta team!"

A Breakthrough Story from Olivia's Journey
By Laura Shepherd 31 May, 2024
Wrestling with the gravity of her sin and inadequacy, she experienced a profound realization of Christ's sacrificial love. “The first night of the retreat, the message was about exactly what I was struggling with- you can't do anything to overcome your sin…it was the first time I realized Jesus didn't die on the cross for sin in general. He died on the cross for my sins.”

My routines have been disturbed. No, destroyed. I am a creature of routine.

A few years ago, I reconnected with a friend who is the founder of a great organization here in Atlanta. Even though we don’t see watch other a lot, I am able to keep up with him (as most of us do) through social media.One of things that I see him doing as much as anything is caring for his team. His company is spread out across the country, and he spends a lot of his time visiting everyone.

In today’s culture, men are becoming the focal point of many debates, divisiveness and controversy. I think we would all agree that men are being called out more and more for the lack of true manhood. Men are failing at many levels of leadership in their families, their offices, and their communities.I’m not here to make excuses for us as men, or to claim that I have the anecdote to this type of behavior.
