Why Fellowship?

The vision of Fellowship Baptist church is to make disciples in the heart of Des Moines and around the world by preaching and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are centrally located; just south of downtown and a few blocks from the State Capitol.

Here you'll find:

• Expositional Preaching
• Intentional Outreach
• Vibrant Worship
• Lasting Friendships

FELLOWSHIP MEANS: TOGETHER

Worship Together

Sunday worship is the highlight of our week. Pastors study, musicians prepare, volunteers serve, and then we all come together and lift our hearts and voices as one. Come share our joy as we sing, pray, and proclaim the Word in the name of Jesus Christ!

Serve Together

We are on the lookout; how can we exalt our Savior by loving our neighbors? We know God has placed us on the south side to make a difference.

​Within the church, each member has a gift – kid's ministry, organization, teaching, card-writing, singing; Fellowship serves together.

Life Together

God’s Word paints a vibrant picture of the Church sharing their homes, meals, and hearts with a depth of friendship that continues after the last Sunday “amen.”

Fellowship is not just our name; it’s a template for living life together.

Hello from Pastor Dan

Jesus summarized His message this way: These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full (John 15:11). So many people are chasing the "American Dream" of career, kids, money, and entertainment. True joy is found in knowing and serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

Come pursue joy with us whether you are exploring questions of faith or are already a committed disciple of Jesus. Our congregation welcomes you!

Declaring God's Word

Listen to this week's sermon or a past message. You'll be encouraged to believe what God has said and then live it right now.

Beliefs

We believe the Bible is God's Word. In it, He tells us who we are, what we were made for, and where we are going. We have all broken God's law and deserve His righteous judgment. The Gospel is good news that God sent us a rescuer to atone for our sin - Jesus Christ; fully God and fully man, who died on the cross in the place of guilty sinners. The Bible calls on all people to repent of their sin and believe in Jesus as their Savior. 

One of the most popular verses in the Bible proclaims that message: John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

The Bible tells us the greatest news of all time and it is also the rule and measure for all questions of life and faith at Fellowship.
