• Set Apart—esp. Sexually (1Thess. 4:3-8)
• Speaking to God Continually (1 Thess 5:18)
• Steadfast in Endurance (Heb. 10:36)
• Submitting to Authority (1 Pet. 2:15)
• Suffering for Doing Right (1 Pet. 3:17)
Next Steps

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 Serving Together.
Our Home Church Ministry values deep relationships as well as spiritual growth and here at Fellowship we believe that one of the best ways to foster this is through serving together.
As people are serving together and building a common passion for others two things take place: those serving grow closer as they are on mission with one another, and our local community is impacted for the sake of the gospel. Our Home Churches serve our own body through many avenues and volunteer with our local ministry partners in various ways throughout the year.
Serving is a key piece as we build community in the body of Christ.
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
