Fellowship Dallas

What Fellowship Dallas does

Fellowship Dallas is a non-denominational Christian church headquartered at 9330 N Central Expressway in Dallas, Texas, operating out of a renovated former United Artists Theater (purchased 2004, opened 2006). It runs two Sunday worship services (8:30 am and 10 am) supplemented by a live-streamed "Watch Live" feed, an on-demand sermon archive, and digital content distributed via RightNow Media. Around the Sunday service, the church operates a portfolio of sub-brand ministries — Fellowship Kids (birth through 5th grade, with age-specific environments The Ark, Treetop, and Route 45), Fellowship Students (6th–12th grade), a Young Adults ministry (20s/30s with a dedicated pastor since 2022), Men's and Women's ministries, a Care & Recovery ministry, and Local and Global Outreach — all connected through Life Groups that meet on-campus and in homes across the DFW Metroplex. The stated mission is to "Love God, Love One Another, Live Like Jesus."

The organization's technology stack is entirely composed of third-party SaaS: Planning Center's Church Center for group management, attendance, and communications; Pushpay for online giving (one-time, recurring, text-to-give, stock donations); RightNow Media for video content; Mailchimp for the Fellowship Weekly newsletter and ministry-specific email lists; Cognito Forms for prayer/care requests; and ManagedMissions for mission trip logistics. There are no proprietary products, no AI/ML components, and no patents or trademarks. The organization employs an 11–50 person staff including a Lead Pastor (Thad Harris), an Integrator & Operations Pastor (Kelly Hornsby), a Business Administrator (Tommy Shelton), a Director of Technical Operations, and a mix of part-time, volunteer, and ministry-specific coordinators, with a separate non-staff teaching team led by Dr. Tim Robinson.

Fellowship Dallas is a privately held 501(c)-equivalent Texas non-profit religious organization with no parent company, investors, or external shareholders; governance rests with an Elder Board. Its revenue is generated almost entirely from voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation — collected in service, online, by text, by mail, and as stock gifts — with a secondary "Other Revenue" stream from facility rentals. FY2024/2025 (ended June 30, 2025) total revenue was $3,326,000 (Giving $2,881K + Other $445K) against a $163,000 operating deficit, and the FY2025/2026 board-approved budget is $2,923,000. The church publicly discloses financials through a dedicated Financial Transparency Portal.
