Fellowship Baptist

What Fellowship Baptist does

Fellowship Baptist Church is a 90-year-old, single-site independent Baptist congregation headquartered at 305 N Deahl, Borger, Texas, chartered November 29, 1936 following tent revival meetings during the Borger oil boom. The church operates as a nonprofit religious organization with 14 paid staff members under Senior Pastor Shawn Dunigan (since 2012), Care Pastor Bobby Bridges (ordained December 1, 2013), and Children's Director/Office Manager Mickey Dunigan. Its ministry portfolio centers on a weekly Sunday worship service (~90 minutes) augmented by a structured discipleship pipeline (Experiencing God → Directions → Discipleship II), Fellowship Groups (small groups organized around fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and outreach), a children's ministry (Fellowship Kidz, infant through 5th grade), a 13-week gospel-centered recovery program (Fellowship Recovery), covenant membership, and a prayer request ministry.

The church's technology stack is intentionally lean and outsourced: RightNow Media provides a free streaming library of video Bible studies (positioned as 'the Netflix of Video Bible Studies') for kids, youth, parents, and married couples, while CloverGive powers secure online tithes and offerings including one-time, recurring, and scheduled giving. There is no proprietary technology, mobile app, API, or AI capability in evidence. Distribution is primarily in-person at the Borger campus, supplemented by digital channels (website, Facebook profiles of pastors/staff, email prayer distribution, sermon media archive) and an articulated strategic focus on international missions targeting the '10/40 Window' unreached peoples.

The business model is straightforward nonprofit religious funding: all services and programs are provided at no cost, with operations entirely underwritten by voluntary, tax-deductible tithes and offerings from members and remote supporters. There are no fees, no disclosed pricing tiers, and no program revenue. The church markets primarily through relational and community channels — worship gatherings, small groups, children's ministry, and content (RightNow Media) — rather than paid acquisition, and its customer segments are horizontal: individuals and families seeking spiritual community (primary), families with children, and people struggling with addiction or life issues. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• First Baptist Church Dallas: Historic, large-scale Southern Baptist flagship congregation in Texas with deep roots, a broad ministry portfolio, and global missions emphasis. A broader incumbent Baptist incumbent operating at a much larger scale but with a comparable doctrinal foundation and missional orientation to Fellowship Baptist.
• Church of the Highlands: One of the largest U.S. churches, based in Birmingham, Alabama, with a strong small-groups model and recovery ministry (Hope for Hurting Hearts). Comparable to Fellowship Baptist in the prominence of its recovery and small-group programming, but at a multi-site, multi-thousand-attendee scale.
• Watermark Church: Large Dallas-area non-denominational church known for structured discipleship pathways, recovery ministry, and community outreach. Comparable to Fellowship Baptist in its emphasis on intentional discipleship and gospel-centered recovery programming, but operating at urban scale.
• Prestonwood Baptist Church: Large Southern Baptist multisite church in the Dallas–Plano area with extensive children's, recovery, and global missions programs. Comparable to Fellowship in Baptist identity, ministry breadth (children, recovery, missions), and discipleship focus, but at a fundamentally different scale.
• Life.Church: One of the largest U.S. churches, known for pioneering digital ministry including the YouVersion Bible app and online church experience. Comparable to Fellowship Baptist in its emphasis on accessible digital content (Fellowship uses RightNow Media), but operating at a national scale that defines expectations younger members may bring.

Emerging players

• Elevation Church: Multi-site, digitally-savvy church led by Steven Furtick with strong content production and a younger-member focus. Relevant as a comparator for how modern Baptist/evangelical congregations use digital media to scale discipleship — a contrast point for Fellowship's more traditional, locally-rooted approach.

Regional players

• Highland Baptist Church (Amarillo): Southern Baptist congregation in nearby Amarillo, the largest city in the Texas Panhandle. Comparable denominational identity and regional mission orientation to Fellowship Baptist, serving an adjacent catchment that could draw some Borger-area families seeking larger programs.

Others

• Hope for the Heart: Faith-based counseling and biblical discipleship ministry that addresses addiction, life-controlling issues, and recovery from a Christ-centered perspective. Adjacent to Fellowship Baptist's Recovery Steps program; provides curriculum, training, and resources that complement congregational recovery ministry like Fellowship's.

Direct peers

• First Baptist Church Borger: Likely the principal Baptist congregation serving the same Borger, Texas trade area as Fellowship Baptist. Same denomination, same town, and overlapping mission of gospel-centered ministry — the closest direct competitor for local members, families, and donors.
• Calvary Baptist Church (Borger / Panhandle area): Independent Baptist churches in the Borger / Amarillo Panhandle trade area function as direct peers: same denomination, same small-town Texas catchment, similar recovery and family-ministry programs, and competing for the same member pool as Fellowship Baptist.
