Join a Home Church
Home Church, Fellowship’s small group ministry, is all about three things – relationships, spiritual growth, and serving. Returning the week of January 12th with 27 small groups, containing over 350 people, Home Church has a place for YOU!
Home Church is all about Spiritual Growth.
Spiritual growth is a key component of our Home Church Ministry. Home Churches are sermon based which means on a weekly basis, groups are spending time opening the scriptures and applying what was taught on Sunday morning.
We believe the Word of God can transform how we think about God, our daily lives and the way we engage the world around us. Being together regularly also provides opportunities to pray for one another as we trust God and build our faith in community.
Fellowship’s desire is that everyone who calls Fellowship home connect relationally in a Home Church.
For more information stop by the Connection Center after service or online at fellowshipconway.org/homechurch.
