Church Calendar

We are prayerfully moving toward a biblical model of church leadership known as elder-led congregationalism. In this model, the church is shepherded by a team of qualified elders who lead, teach, and care for the body, while the congregation faithfully participates in affirming decisions and gospel ministry.

At Fellowship, we are taking intentional steps to move toward this pattern found in the New Testament.

October Worship Playlist

At Fellowship, we believe worship doesn’t stop on Sunday—it’s a way of life. That’s why we create a monthly playlist of the songs we’ll be singing together in worship. This playlist helps prepare your heart for Sunday, encourages personal worship throughout the week, and allows families to engage with the music at home. Let these songs draw you closer to Christ and unite us as we lift our voices together.

The Pastor’s Pen

Brothers and Sisters,

Our second Brown Bag Lunch is this Sunday, and I’m excited to spend time with you and hear your questions. Last month’s discussion was incredibly helpful, and your questions have been valuable as we walk together through this season of growth and clarity. We’ll meet again at 12:30 PM in the Back Building. Bring a sack lunch, or feel free to grab something quickly after the service.

Since our last meeting, Melissa and I have taken some of your questions and added them to our website. You are not alone in your curiosity—many others are asking the same things. Having a clear FAQ page will help both our church family and those outside looking in better understand what elder-led congregationalism may look like here at Fellowship.

I also want to take a moment to express a heartfelt thank you to Terry Skelton. Over the past few weeks, Terry has generously given his time to help with a mountain of administrative tasks around the office. He has a sincere love for ministry and is a faithful friend. Fellowship is a stronger and sweeter church family because of him—and his better half, Connie. And Terry is just one example of so many who sacrificially serve behind the scenes each week.

As our church continues to grow, growth brings change—and sometimes those changes are a little uncomfortable. As Sunday School classes fill up, space will get tighter. The AC will have to work harder, we’ll need more kids’ ministry volunteers, there will be more meetings, more coffee to make, and yes… you may have to wait in line a little longer for the bathroom. But don’t see these things as burdens—see them as blessings. These are signs of life and evidence that God is at work among us. The Lord is entrusting people to our care, and that is a joy and a privilege!

One phrase I hear often is, “I left Church X because I felt like just a number.” Please know—that is not your pastors’ heart. But also remember—you have a role in welcoming others, building relationships, and creating a culture of genuine community. Let’s continue serving together with joy, using our gifts for the good of the body and the glory of God.

Upcoming Events

Wednesday Night This Fall

Something for the whole family this Fall at Fellowship

Dinners at 5:30pm - Back Building

Fellowship Kids - Main Building Kids Hallway

Fellowship Students - Back Building 2nd Floor

Apologetics | Co-Ed Adult Study | Terry Skelton | Sanctuary

Christian Apologetics is more than winning an argument, it's about sharing the truth of Christ with both conviction and compassion. 1 Peter 3:15 says “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect,” In this class, you'll learn how to answer challenging questions about God, the Bible, and the Christian worldview, all while reflecting the character of Christ. We'll explore how to engage in meaningful conversations, build bridges rather than walls, and stand firm in faith with gentleness and respect. Come get equipped to speak truth in love, and make a thoughtful, compelling case for Christ in today’s skeptical world.

Romans the Glory of the Gospel | Ladies Adult Study | Becca Smith | Back Building 1st Floor Class Room

Why does Romans still matter today? Because it answers the deepest questions of the human heart—and leads us straight to the mercy of God. In this 10-week study, we’ll walk through Paul’s letter to the Romans and discover how the gospel meets us in our sin, reshapes our identity, and anchors us in unshakable hope. As we go verse by verse, we’ll see how God works through Jesus to make things right—and how that changes everything for those who believe. This study will help you not just understand key doctrines like justification and redemption, but live them out with confidence and joy. Come see what God has done—and how to live in light of it. This class also meets on Monday morning starting 9.8.2025.

The Road to Jerusalem | Co-Ed Adult Study | Travis Smith | Welcome Center

What if the road Jesus walked was meant for you, too? Let’s walk it together—and see how Jesus prepared His followers to live, love, and lead in a broken world. As Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, He wasn’t just heading to the cross—He was shaping disciples every step of the way. Along that road, He taught what it means to follow Him, warned of the world’s pull, and called His followers to live ready for His return. Discipleship doesn’t happen by accident. Come see how Jesus prepared His followers—so you can follow Him today.

All groups begin at 6:30pm

Operation Christmas Child Collection Day | Nov 2nd

Please have your boxes to the Church on the morning of November 2nd for collection.

Date/Time: Every First Sunday of the Month beginning on October 5th - March 1st @ 12:30PM
Location: Back Building - Fellowship Hall
