The Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) lives by the calling to establish reproducing churches worldwide, and won't stop until that calling is complete. Now more than ever, people, both inside and ourside of FEC, are catching a vision for establishing reproducing churches worldwide—and it shows.
Every year, we're adding new churches to our fellowship across the United States, as well as engaging unreached people groups for the Gospel around the world, and it's happening in record numbers.
Beyond our core beliefs and passion for reaching lost people, a handful of distinctives guide the way we approach church planters, and planting.
We believe the leader's personal spiritual formation and health are the absolute centerpiece for effective church planting. Assessment, coaching, networking, and care are provided to ensure church planters serve from soul health above all else. Then skills, strategies, passion, and energy can emerge to make impact and see lives transformed by the power of the gospel.
God raises up new wineskins to carry the new wine of the gospel message in every generation. We don't dictate a particular model for church planting. We work with each individual planter and/or birthing church to empower the distinct method, target group, and philosophy of outreach they feel called by God to pursue. We're willing (and excited) to take risks.
We don't just want to plant churches. We want to raise up new churches born with the DNA to be reproducing centers. To plant churches that plant churches. And to raise up the next generation of leaders and church planters from within.
Networking with some of the best resources available, the FEC Planting Network helps church planters self-assess, grow, and develop effective strategies for gospel impact. We ensure you have the tools you need to discern your readiness, fund-raise, resource-gather, plan, and team-build so that you're fully-equipped for the adventure.
We aren't looking to fill quotas. We don't actively recruit just to see how many numbers we can add. We're asking God to intersect us with the right kind of people — called by God, committed to deep intimacy with Christ, aching over lost people, and not sure they're up to the task. If that's you, or you don't know but you'd like to find out, just let us know you're there, and we'll start a discovery process to see together where God takes it. Just fill out this form and we'll be in touch!
