The Fellowship Community Church

At Fellowship Community Church we believe that Christian service is the inevitable practical demonstration of the love of God revealed to us in Jesus Christ. This area of ministry involves service to each other, to the community and to the world. It ranges from ministries of benevolence to outreach and missions, encompassing service in both the spiritual and the material senses. Fellowship’s commitment to benevolence and Christian service has lead the congregation to establish the goal of designating to it 10% of its revenues.
