MISSION AND VALUES
Prepare and Deploy Dependent Disciples
The Mission
Out of a desire to glorify God as a spiritual community, the mission of Fellowship Bible Church is to prepare and deploy dependent disciples of Jesus Christ who change their world for Him as they are being changed by Him.
Prepare
Making disciples is what Jesus has called us to do. That calling involves bringing people to faith in Christ and equipping them for service “to prepare” disciples.
Deploy
Jesus has also sent us into this world to be a witness. Therefore, we also desire “to deploy” disciples—deploy them in their homes, neighborhoods, communities and around the world.
Dependent Disciples
However, we do not want to prepare and deploy disciples who enter into this holy calling in their own strength and power. It is disciples “dependent” on the finished work of Jesus Christ that we trust will be raised up through the ministries of Fellowship Bible Church. When dependent disciples are prepared and deployed, change will take place in people’s lives.

Every believer needs to be rightly related to God. They must have an upward focus through worship which is characterized by an ever-increasing movement away from being a self-worshiper to a worshiper of God.

Loving Biblical Truth
Every believer needs to be rightly related to the Truth. They must have an inward focus through God’s Word, characterized by an ever-increasing movement away from living by human reasoning to living by divine wisdom.

Every believer needs to be rightly related to the Family. They must have an outward focus toward one’s physical family, characterized by an ever-increasing movement towards familial harmony and Christ-centered oneness.
​
Loving the Church
Every believer needs to be rightly related to the Church. They must also have an outward focus to one’s spiritual family through fellowship and community life, characterized by an ever-increasing movement away from individualism to full participation in Body Life.
