The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches is an evangelical denomination in Australia. It consists of 38 congregations in every state except South Australia.[1]

Most of the churches were formed as church plants by clergy trained at Moore Theological College, but operating outside the Diocese of Sydney.[2] Many of them do not have their own church buildings, and meet at local schools.[3] The FIEC started in 2002,[4] and has experienced significant growth.[5]
