Fellowship United Methodist Church

Names are important, they should describe the person or entity with which they are associated, and we are named Fellowship United Methodist Church for a reason.

We believe that "fellowship" is more than hanging out or being in the same place at the same time.  Fellowship is even more than friendship.  Real fellowship happens as we experience all of life together – together with God and with one another.  It is an idea and way of life that has been God’s desire for humanity since the beginning of time.  The most concise biblical example of fellowship, and the one from which we take our name, dates back from over 2000 years ago:

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common.  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.  (Acts 2.42-47 NIV).

As a United Methodist Church our emphasis is:  1) personal transformation through a deep and growing relationship with God through Jesus Christ and 2) social transformation as we join with God’s work of reconciling all of creation back to Himself.  Fellowship United Methodist Church supports the beliefs and social principles of the United Methodist Church.
