Fellowship Bible Church

What Fellowship Bible Church does

Fellowship Bible Church is an Elder-led, non-profit religious organization founded in 1977 and headquartered at 1401 Kirk Rd, Little Rock, Arkansas. It operates as one church across seven campuses in Central Arkansas — Benton, Cabot, Español, Maumelle, Midtown, North Little Rock, and West Little Rock — governed by a board of Elders and led day-to-day by a four-person Teaching Pastor Team (Mark Henry, Justin Bilson, Ben Parkinson, and Brandon Barnard). The church employs 79 staff and serves a member and attendee base through life-stage ministries including Kids, Students (7th–12th grade), Young Adults (18–35), Men, Women, Legacy Grandparenting, Marriage, Care & Counseling, Embrace Special Needs, and ESL, with D-Groups (discipleship groups) as the core community-building mechanism.

The church's core programs are delivered through physical campus services, in-person small groups, and a digital infrastructure consisting of the fellowshipar.com website, the My Fellowship member portal, perk-campus YouTube channels, the online.church streaming platform for the West Little Rock campus, the Fellowship Podcast Network, Fellowship Music on Spotify, and the FellowshipAR mobile application built on the ACS Technologies GoMethod platform. A 10-month Residency Program develops ministry leaders across seven tracks (Care, Kids, Missions, Students, Women, Worship, Young Adults).

Fellowship Bible Church is funded primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings from members and attendees, supplemented by designated giving for 30+ global mission partners and short-term mission trips. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Nominal fees are charged for select programs (e.g., $100 per couple for the Becoming ONE Weekender premarital class), while general worship attendance and standard ministries are offered free of charge. Growth is driven by community-led outreach through D-Groups, large campus events (with The Man Event drawing 1,000+ attendees in Fall 2025), and a global mission-partnership network spanning Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and North America.

Broad incumbents

• Elevation Church: Large multi-site church led by a single teaching pastor with a strong digital presence and worship music output (Elevation Worship), comparable to Fellowship's multi-site, multi-campus, and music-publishing model.
• Life.Church: A pioneer in church online streaming and digital platforms (Church Online Platform, YouVersion); comparable to Fellowship's investment in live streaming, mobile app, and digital-first ministry.
• North Point Community Church: One of the most influential multi-site churches in the U.S.; shares Fellowship's elder-led, teaching-pastor, multi-campus model and is a comparable benchmark for multi-site operational scale.
• Saddleback Church: Established multi-site church with a companion residency/leadership development program (Lakeforest Leadership), paralleling Fellowship's 10-month Residency as a leadership pipeline.

Direct peers

• Watermark Church: Multi-site church with strong community small-group philosophy, marriage/family ministry, and recovery programs (The Porch) — directly comparable to Fellowship's D-Groups, Marriage Ministry, and Care & Counseling offerings.
• Immanuel Baptist Church: Another large multi-site evangelical church headquartered in Little Rock, AR. Directly competes for congregants, donors, and community visibility in the same Central Arkansas market.
• The Summit Church: Multi-site church emphasizing discipleship, gospel centrality, and global church planting — closely mirrors Fellowship's Connection/Transformation/Multiplication values and global mission partnerships.
• Second Baptist Church: Major Southern Baptist multi-site church in Little Rock offering similar age-segmented ministries, missions, and community outreach competing for the same donor and member base as Fellowship.

Emerging players

• Christ Community Church: Mid-sized multi-site church with a comparable residency/apprenticeship model and strong commitment to global missions; a relevant peer for Fellowship's tier of multi-site church size.

Others

• Fellowship Associates: Fellowship Bible Church's own church-planting network that trains leaders to plant churches through the residency program; an ecosystem partner and the most direct expression of Fellowship's external reproduction strategy.
