We are a family. We are Gods family, united by our belief in God through Jesus Christ and by the power of His Spirit. We are a family in which every person counts: We would like you also to be a member of Gods family and to experience with us His special love. We are Christians. We have much in common with many other people in this world. We pray the Lords Prayer ; we confess the Apostles Creed ; we read the Bible, Gods Word, to discover what Gods purpose is for us and His world. We also belong to the Christian Reformed denomination, a group of churches founded in 1857 which traces its roots to the teachings of John Calvin. We enjoy each others company. We call ourselves Fellowship Church because we believe that being together is an important part of what it means to be Christians. We enjoy talking and laughing together at our coffee times, church dinners, and picnics. We enjoy discovering each others interests and abilities. We are happy that God has made us a family. We learn. In order to grow as a family, we participate together in different types of groups, classes, and Bible studies. We help each other and others. Because God wants us to help people, we collect food and money for those in need, visit the sick and lonely, and offer comfort to the hurting and hope to the despairing.
