Beliefs
We believe that to be a disciple of Jesus means we will gather (come together to worship, pray, and minister to others), grow (gospel-based, grace-oriented development of faith, character, and skill), and go (engage in sharing the gospel, planting churches, and meeting physical needs through compassionate ministry).
FAQs
What will the experience be like?
When you arrive at The Fellowship, you can expect to feel welcomed and accepted the moment you step through the door. Visiting an unfamiliar church for the first time can be a little intimidating, but we will answer your every question and make you feel welcome any way we can. Though our services may feel large, we are an intimate and dynamic church with people from every walk of life: singles, families, college students, children, teenagers, infants, and senior adults.
Plan to be encouraged, challenged, and empowered by our passionate worship team, relevant presentations from God’s word, and life-changing prayer and response times. The Fellowship revolves around Jesus and is committed to doing whatever it takes to help you grow as a follower of Jesus Christ. We invite you to come as you are, leave different than you came, and expect the unexpected.
How early should I get there?
The same worship service is offered at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM Arriving 15 minutes early will give you enough time to stop by the Welcome Desk, check in your kids, and grab a cup of coffee in the lobby.
What should I wear?
Casual. Comfortable. Come as you are.
What is available for my kids?
Your child will experience age-appropriate teaching, engaging music, and fun activities designed to encourage them to become lifelong followers of Jesus. We utilize a check-in system that is fast, easy, and ensures a safe atmosphere for your child. After coming through the main entrance doors, the preschool area is located immediately to the right and the children’s area is straight ahead, past the preschool area and the sanctuary on the right. Greeters are waiting in the lobby to welcome you and show you where to go. We can’t wait to meet you!
