About Fellowship Bible Church:
We are a non-denominational, independent church committed to teaching the unchanging principles of God’s Word in an ever changing world, challenging people with the relevance of the Bible in everyday life. It is our desire to help each believer on their spiritual journey in discovering a richer relationship with God. He provides the hope and peace needed in our times of difficulty.
Our goal is to communicate the truths of God’s Word in such a way that we change in character and connect in community and so fulfill our mission of gathering with Christ, growing in Christ, going for Christ and giving to Christ. Jesus said He would build His church and we are a vital part of helping reach that goal.
The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Fellowship Bible Church’s (hereafter known as FBC) faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Pastor and Board of Deacons are the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application for FBC.
