WELCOME HOME TO FELLOWSHIP REFORMED CHURCH. We are convinced that every member of our family brings a valuable contribution as we celebrate the FELLOWSHIP REFORMED CHURCH one true God! This celebration takes place in three ways: worship, growth and service. As disciples, we long to see one another actively worshipping God— EVENING WORSHIP SERVICE pursuing Him in a life of praise. Secondly, we are called to intentional growth— studying God's Word with brothers and sisters throughout the course of the 6:00PM week. And, thirdly, we demonstrate our love for God by actively serving within His Kingdom—being the very hands and feet of Christ.
