About Us
Fellowship Chapel's vision can best be summed up in a quote from our pastor, Scott Price:
"We gather to be instructed; we scatter to be influential.
We gather for worship; we scatter to witness.
We gather to learn how to live; we scatter to live what we learned. We gather to edify;
We scatter to testify. We gather to share our lives; we scatter to share our Lord.
We gather for encouragement; we scatter for evangelism.
We gather to grow; we scatter to sow.
We gather for teaching; we scatter for reaching.
We gather to know Christ; we scatter to show Christ.
We gather to immerse in Scripture; we scatter to impact society."
Articles of Faith and Teachings
We believe that the Bible in the original tongue is the inspired Word of God, and that it is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:14-16)
We believe that God is Triune: that there are three eternal, co-equal, divine persons in the Godhead, and these three are one God. (Matthew 28:19)
We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin. (John and Matthew 1)
We believe that the only way to be saved is by faith in the blood sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and those who thus become His sheep, He says, "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:28, Ephesians 2:8-9)
We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father: that He ever liveth to make intercession for all that come to God by Him. (Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 4:14: Ephesians 1:20-21)
We believe that the Gospel Commission is for the Church; that the Lord's Supper and Baptism are divine institutions and that Christ desires us to practice them in this age. (Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:23-29)
We believe that Christ may at any moment return in the air to rapture the Saints, after which He will come to the earth with His Saints, and rule for a thousand years, after this the wicked will be judged and cast into a lake of fire. (I Thessalonians 4:13; I Corinthians 15:51-57; Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15-21, 24-27, 25:45; Revelation 19:11; 20:10)
We believe Satan is a person, the author of the fall, and that he shall be eternally punished. (Job 1-7; Genesis 3:1-19; Revelation 20:10)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust; and in the eternal punishment of the lost and the eternal joy of the saved. (Revelation 20:11-15; 22:11-14; I Corinthians 15:1-58)
We believe the Church is two or more baptized believers covenanted together to do the will of God. That baptism is immersion of water as taught in the Bible and example of the disciples of our Lord.
We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Genesis 2:24; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26-28)
Verse of the Week
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake."
For the next month, thanks to you wonderful people, I am going to have a sabbatical. Just what is a sabbatical? I like Bill Gaultiere's explanation: "A true sabbatical is a season of Sabbath for prolonged rest. It's like stringing together a number of Sabbath days. It's an extended time in which you do no work. You do no pastoring, no leading, no ministering, no visioning the future of the church, no sermon planning. You don't try to accomplish anything big. You just 'do nothing'! We pastors are always "doing" and it's difficult taking time off to do "nothing" but to "lie down in green pastures...beside the still waters." That's what I'm planning to do this month of June--"nothing" but get some rest and be restored physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Please pray that I will let myself rest, that I will not feel guilty about taking it easy and will not feel driven to be doing something. That's a big problem for me--feeling like I'm wasting time when I'm not busy doing. Pray that I will focus this month on "being" instead of "doing"--being still and know that He is God, being with my wife as we celebrate thirty wonderful years of marriage this very month, being with my children. Please know how much I will miss you this month and hopefully upon my return in July, I'll be a rested, renewed, and ready-to-hit-the-ground-running pastor to the glory of God.
