Welcome
to Fellowship
One of the fastest growing areas in the Metroplex is Forney,
Texas. At Fellowship of Forney, we see this as an opportunity to
reach people for Jesus Christ. The people of Fellowship have accepted
the challenge to minister to this growing community by participating
in the ministries of the church. We believe that every believer has
been given gifts and talents that can be offered to the Lord and
that our happiness in life depends on using them for His glory.
We emphasize three aspects of a believer's relationship with God. |
WORSHIP – By participating in worship each
week, the believer brings balance to life. We were created to worship our God, and
at Fellowship we have structured our schedule so that every person
can be involved in worship. We offer multiple services to allow
every person the opportunity to worship. Our Worship Leader, Praise
Band and Praise Team do an excellent job in leading us each week
in praise and worship. Our music style is contemporary and always
relative to the message we believe God wants us to communicate
for the week. My goal is teach from the word of God each week
things that are relative and that relate to our lives. The Bible
is the living word that abides forever and can change a person's
life. Jesus used the media available in His day by teaching in parables and often
by using visual examples because communicating a clear message
is essential. We use drama, video, testimonies and many other creative
ways to communicate the message of Jesus Christ. Worship is a vital part of our focus at Fellowship.
WORK – Just as we were created to worship,
we were redeemed to serve. Fellowship offers many opportunities for people to serve
the Lord with the gifts and talents that He has given to them.
The entire purpose for winning people to Christ is so they
can be deployed into places of ministry. At Fellowship, we have
a ministry for everyone and we will help train everyone for the
ministry that God calls him or her to do. From Parking Attendants,
Welcome Teams, Home Group Leaders to Choir Members and Musicians,
there are ministry opportunities for everyone. We like to think
that every member is a minister at Fellowship. The time we spend learning God's word must be put into
practice through acts of service and we encourage every member
to plug into a ministry opportunity.
WALK – The privilege of the Christian life
is to share with others. The Bible encourages us to “spur one another on toward
love and good deeds.”(Heb. 10:24) We are in it together and
by walking together, our Christian life is strengthened. At Fellowship
we offer a ministry called Real Life Teams. These teams are small
groups that meet together for Bible study, accountability and
to do ministry together. We encourage every member of Fellowship
to be involved in one of these groups. We offer different types
of groups meeting at different times because it strengthens
our walk with Christ to walk together. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says,
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for
their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But
pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”
We appreciate your interest in Fellowship and if we can be of
any assistance to you, please let us know.
