Fellowship Church

After starting out in a rented office complex, moving to an arts center and then meeting in a public high school in Irving, Texas, Fellowship Church moved to its current 141-acre campus in Grapevine, Texas in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
In 2003 Fellowship Church opened two satellite locations in the Plano and Fort Worth areas, with a third satellite opening in downtown Dallas just two years later. Fellowship Church’s latest satellite campus in Miami opened in May 2006.
