MARCELLUS CASEY

Husband | Father | Pastor | Chaplain

Growing up with a father who pastored an inner-city church and who worked as a chaplain to Olympic and professional athletes gave Marcellus an inside look into sports ministry life. Having a mother who is a lifetime educator gave Marcellus a picture of what it means to slow down and care for others.

Marcellus now has more than 20 years of

experience in sports ministry. After playing football and serving as the first-ever football Chaplain at Northwest Missouri State University, Marcellus married his high school sweetheart,

Stephanie.

He then served as the Chaplain for the University of Illinois football and basketball teams through the Fellowship of ChristianAthletes (FCA) before moving to Kansas City to serve as FCA’s Director for the states of Kansas and Missouri.

SO ALL OF US WHO HAVE HAD THAT

VEIL REMOVED CAN SEE AND REFLECT

THE GLORY OF THE LORD. AND THE

LORD—WHO IS THE SPIRIT—MAKES US

MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM AS WE ARE

CHANGED INTO HIS GLORIOUS IMAGE.

2 Corinthians 3:18

What are you chasing?

Let’s discover a GLORY that

never fades, that frees us to

go all out to reflect love and

hope for others! From my

Glory to His Glory!

– FCA’s 2025 Theme

In 2016, Marcellus moved his ministry focus to pastoring in the inner-city of Kansas City and eventually helped serve vulnerable families on the Eastside of KC through The Hope Center for 3 years. While working with The Hope Center,

Marcellus opened a successfully competitive boxing gym, “Crunch Time Boxing”. The gym focuses on preparing high school athletes to compete through USA Boxing sanctioned bouts while also teaching them about Jesus and providing mentorship.

Marcellus is currently serving in his 8th season as the Chaplain for the Kansas City Chiefs. Marcellus and Stephanie recently celebrated 19 years of marriage, and they have three beautiful daughters (Salem, Cora, & Vivienne) and one handsome son (Ralphie).
