Get Connected in a Home Church
Fellowship’s desire is for everyone to be relationally connected. The primary way we do this is in Home Churches – small groups that meet in living rooms to apply God’s Word, pray, and to serve together.
Stop by the Home Church table in the Atrium and let us help you get connected. For more information go to fellowshipconway.org/homechurch
