As we enter into the Fall and seek to continue regathering as a church, I hope that by now you will have seen or read our Leadership’s announcement of how Fellowship will move forward over the next couple of months. If not, I encourage you to watch the latest message on what regathering as a church will look like this Fall. Click here to watch.

RightNow Media Launch - Fall 2020

We are excited to share that Fellowship has just subscribed to one of the best resources for groups in our day: RightNow Media (RNM). RNM is a digital platform for churches that provides, among other ministry resources, excellent curriculum for small groups. Many of these curricula provide video introductions, leader guides and participant guides, and other resources to enhance your group life and study. An overview of RightNow Media is under "Extra Resources" above.
