Welcome to the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches

By the grace of God, churches of FEC intentionally expand the visible body of Christ both nationally and internationally. We embrace a common vision to reach the unchurched and trust the Holy Spirit to breathe a fresh wind of spiritual vitality through our local bodies of believers.  Today more than 70 U.S. churches and church plants, along with our international initiatives are carrying out this mission.

Our Mission:

We exist to help our local churches obey the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) by establishing reproducing churches worldwide.

We do so:

  1. believing Jesus is the Lord of his Church, and has chosen the Church to be the primary transforming instrument in the world.
  2. holding a shared adherence to an evangelical theology as expressed in our Articles of Faith & Practice.
  3. practicing biblical stewardship to the glory of God while engendering the confidence of our local churches as we partner together.
  4. leveraging partnerships with aligned organizations for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
  5. acknowledging our Anabaptist heritage as documented in Church on a Mission: A Newcomers Guide to the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches by Stan Nussbaum.

What do We Mean by Evangelical?

In today’s world, the word “evangelical” can mean many different things to many different people.  We’ve partnered with the National Association of Evangelicals to agree on a common definition of the word “evangelical” that we hope captures both the shared faith and diversity of those who call themselves evangelicals.
