Re-Gathering
Fellowship Bible Church
(Check back frequently for updates. Last update: 9/24/20)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fellowship Bible Church has restricted our public ministries and programming in compliance with state and national requirements and recommendations for public health and safety. In March 2020, we cancelled all of our on-site programs including small groups, classes, and corporate worship. At that time we began live-streaming worship services on Sunday mornings from our pop-up studio. We also pre-recorded and streamed videos for our children.
Step One
In the summer of 2020, we began welcoming worshipers on Sunday mornings in limited numbers while continuing with our video streaming for children.
Step Two
Beginning September 21st, we will take our second step in our church Re-Gathering with a partial restart of our regular ministries and programs with health and safety protocols in place.
