Information: Associations and Networks
Fellowship is an independent non-denominational church. Although there is no “Fellowship Bible Church” denomination, we are nonetheless involved in two important networks for accountability, encouragement, idea networking and a sustained passion to plant gospel-centered missional churches.
Acts 29 Church-Planting Network
Fellowship is proud to be the first Acts 29 church in the state of Arkansas. The Acts 29 Network (founded by Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church in Seattle) exists to start churches that plant churches. God is using this network to influence and shape the church planting culture through both solid theology and contextualizing the gospel. The Acts 29 Network is committed to standing firm on two these commitments. We won’t water down our theology to reach more people and we won’t attack the culture in the name of Christianity. We are planting churches that are missionaries in their respective communities sent by Christ with the gospel (John 20:21). It is the desire of Acts 29 to plant 1,000 new churches in the next 10 years. For more about Acts 29, we encourage you to visit their web site.
Fellowship Associates Network
Fellowship Associates is dedicated to training today’s leaders to plant tomorrow’s churches of influence. In 1977, Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock was planted. Over time, Fellowship developed a passion to share their hope in Christ with the world by planting other like-minded churches. In its first 20 years, Fellowship planted 13 new churches. In 1999, Fellowship became even more intentional and launched Fellowship Associates to focus exclusively on developing church planters and launching church plants. As a result, there are churches all across the United States that have been birthed out of Fellowship Associates. These churches maintain an ongoing relationship whereby we can share ideas, hold each other accountable, and further the vision of reaching the world through gospel-centered churches.
