FCA ministry is a perfect fit for Margaux Poplaski, who possesses both a strong faith in Christ and plenty of experience as a standout field hockey player and coach. Poplaski was a three-year starter as a goalkeeper in the University of New Hampshire’s Top 10 nationally-ranked field hockey program from 2003-2007. Following her playing career, she coached at the collegiate level for four years. With a desire to help coaches and athletes infuse their faith into competitive sports, she started work with FCA in 2011.

She has served as both an Area Representative and Maine State Director – working with coaches and athletes alike to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the region. In 2020, Poplaski stepped up to become the Ministry Advancement Coordinator for the Northeast Region.

With a new focus on supporting the staff in the Northeast Region, Poplaski is thrilled to see what God is doing through each staff member. “I am really looking forward to serving our staff as we continue to develop a big picture strategy for the Northeast and how we best engage, equip and empower coaches and athletes,” says Poplaski.

She lives in Hampden, Maine with her husband Seth and their two daughters, Evie and Emmy.
