COACHES TIMEOUT 2027
Coaching can be demanding — long hours, constant pressure, and little time to rest or reconnect. That’s why the FCA Coaches Time Out is the perfect opportunity for coaching couples to step away from the sidelines and refocus on what matters most.
Join us for a refreshing weekend getaway at the beautiful Bear Creek Mountain Resort, surrounded by stunning mountain views and peaceful spaces to unwind. Together, you’ll be encouraged, refreshed, and recharged through Christ-centered teaching, real conversations, and meaningful community with other couples who understand the coaching life.
Between sessions, enjoy free time to take advantage of the resort’s many amenities — relax at the spa, hike or bike the mountain trails, unwind in the pools and hot tubs, or explore local attractions and restaurants in the scenic Lehigh Valley area.
Come laugh, rest, and rediscover your purpose — both in marriage and in coaching. This is your invitation to pause, reconnect, and be renewed through fellowship, faith, and fun.

Chris and Trish
Chris and Trish have been married for more than 30 years and are passionate about helping couples build marriages that stay strong through every season of life. As parents of three adult sons and grandparents, they know that a healthy marriage doesn’t happen by accident, it takes intentionality, communication, faith, and a commitment to keep choosing each other.
With a combined 60 years in education, including Chris’s experience as a coach and administrator, they understand the unique demands placed on coaches and their families. They have served together in church and FCA ministry, taught marriage classes, and spent years encouraging couples with practical, biblical tools they can apply in everyday life.
They especially enjoy working with coaching couples because they understand the tension between pouring into everyone else and making sure there is still something left for the person waiting at home. Their heart is to create a space where couples can slow down, reconnect, laugh, have honest conversations, and be reminded that their marriage is worth investing in.
For Chris and Trish, a strong marriage isn’t just about making it through the busy seasons—it’s about growing together and keeping Christ at the center along the way.
