Fellowship Bible Church

What Fellowship Bible Church does

Fellowship Bible Church of Northwest Arkansas is a multi-campus evangelical Christian church founded in December 1983 by seven families in Rogers, Arkansas, and publicly launched on May 27, 1984. The organization operates four congregations across three physical locations in Northwest Arkansas: Fellowship Rogers (the founding campus and headquarters, including the Counseling & Care Center), Fellowship Fayetteville (near the University of Arkansas, with a college-ministry focus), Fellowship Bentonville (opened April 3, 2022), and Fellowship Mosaic (a Saturday-evening service expression held at the Rogers campus). Its ministry portfolio spans the full life cycle — Kids (birth through 6th grade), Students (7th–12th grade), College, Men's, Women's, Celebrate Recovery, Counseling & Care Center, Special Needs & Disability Ministry, marriage enrichment (Merge/Engage premarital and re|engage), and The Training Center — operating under a Celebration/Cell philosophy that pairs weekend worship with mid-week small groups meeting in homes.

The church is governed by an Elder Board operating under 100% affirmation elder governance; each elder serves approximately five-year terms. The technology footprint is conventional for a modern multi-site church: a custom mobile app on iOS and Android, livestreamed and recorded worship services across all campuses (with an ASL service at Rogers), online giving infrastructure supporting recurring gifts and non-cash donations (stocks, real estate, life insurance, gifts-in-kind), an active social and podcast presence (The Ride Home, Fellowship College, Hope In Recovery, Sermon Notes, Footnotes), and a YouTube channel for the Fellowship Worship music collective. No public API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are documented. The organization is ECFA-accredited.

The financial model is a nonprofit religious institution funded entirely by voluntary member tithes and offerings. The church offers no priced services — worship, programs, classes, and counseling are provided free of charge. Designated giving streams exist for global and local missions. Member acquisition is community-led (small groups, events, classes) and event-driven (Discover Fellowship membership experience, premarital programs, recovery ministries, training-center classes), supplemented by direct digital channels (livestream, mobile app, podcasts) that extend reach beyond physical attendance.
