Alyssa Root
Cowlitz County Area Representative
aroot@fca.org
Alyssa grew up in Montana where she was involved in her high school's FCA. She then went on to play college basketball. After pursuing a degree in Physical Therapy and helping people physically rehabilitate for the last 10 years, God moved her to Washington where she felt the call to get back into the FCA circle to help people rehabilitate, but in a deeper, life-altering, spiritual way. She is super passionate about cheering people on and is so excited to help in guiding coaches and athletes into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

Kane played college baseball, winning a NWAC Championship and receiving his AA. After continuing school he felt called to full time ministry, leaving his senior year. He then married his wife, Jennifer. Kane is passionate about helping everyone take the next step in their spiritual journey!
Jennifer Kleven
Cowlitz County Admin Assistant
jkleven@fca.org
Jennifer was born and raised in Washington. She has two children, Alexis and Tyler. Both of her kids were active in FCA throughout their high school careers and FCA was instrumental in helping her family through a major tragedy. It was her daughter’s faith and devotion to Christ that helped start Jennifer’s relationship with Jesus and ultimately led her to become an FCA Salt Coach. When not coaching High School track, you can usually find her spending time with her kids, Kayaking, exercising or in fellowship with friends. Jennifer hopes that everyone would know how much they are loved by God!

Cowlitz County Area Representative - All-Ability

I grew up in the church and always knew who God was, but as an athlete, my weekends were often dedicated to sports, creating a conflict between faith and athletics. In high school, my baseball coach, who was involved with FCA, began to disciple me. He helped me realize that my identity wasn’t tied to my performance or sports but instead, rooted in being a child of God. Through his discipleship, we started a team Huddle after practice, where I led my teammates in reading the Bible. Faith and sports were no longer in conflict for me, and instead they were united in glorifying God. After high school, I attended Pacific University, where I joined the FCA Huddle on campus. From there, I connected with friends involved in a club called Unified. This club brought people with and without disabilities together to play sports. I instantly fell in love with it and felt truly alive as I shared my love for sports with them. But I soon realized that something was missing... sharing Christ’s love. While playing sports together brought joy and connection, I longed to share the hope and purpose I found in Jesus. I wanted them to know they are loved unconditionally by God and that their value isn’t defined by their abilities but by who they are in Christ. Now, through FCA’s All Ability ministry, we have the opportunity to do just that. I joined FCA because faith and sports are two areas where people with disabilities are often overlooked. Yet, these two areas have deeply shaped my life. I want to bring them together to share my love for Christ and sports with everyone, ensuring no one is left on the sidelines.
