About Fellowship

A short history

Fellowship Community Church began with Mark and Marian Willey’s desire to see people come to know, love, serve, and enjoy Jesus Christ. They held their first service on Easter Sunday in 1981 at Lenape High School. Four years later they were able to purchase land and build the multi-purpose facility now used as the church gymnasium. This building held services, youth activities, and various outreaches for years until the current worship center was added in 2000. Steady growth and the Lord’s prompting led church leaders to expand the reach of Fellowship by adding an additional satellite campus in Haddonfield during the fall of 2009 which has since moved to Collingswood.

What We Believe

Below are the 7 DNA that help define what we believe and the reasons behind the way we do ministry here. Click on each one to hear a short discussion from the pastors on that topic.

Read The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvationhe came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.
