1520 Hainesport Rd., Mount Laurel, NJ 08054
Mount Laurel is the original campus that was started in the 1980's. They have 2 services each Sunday with full children's programs and about 1,000 people attending between the two services. With so many people, that means there are also many opportunities for involvement throughout the week in Bible studies, gatherings and community groups, with an emphasis on getting deeply involved in a smaller group where you can really know others and be known in your spiritual walk.

710 Collings Ave., Collingswood, NJ 08107
The Collingswood Campus was started in the 2010's to help better serve that local community where many of our regular attenders were traveling from. They have one Sunday morning service with a children's program and about. 150 people attending. This campus is continually focused on reaching out to the local community and impacting others through the family unit, providing a safe community and service.
At Fellowship we provide a casual, come-as-you-are atmosphere for you and your family. Our services start with a passionate, 30-minute worship experience. We'll then study scripture with a focus on heart deep transformation.
Our Sunday services include a joyful time of worship and teaching from one of our pastors. There are nurseries and a children’s Bible program that runs during both services that your children are welcome to attend.
During the school year there are Nurseries and the Fellowship KIDS Bible program for infants through 8th grade during the earlier service. During the later service the nursery is available as well as classes for preschool through 4th grade.
If a family member has special needs or a physical handicap and would like to participate in worship, the children's program or another event, please reach out to us! We would love to see how we can accommodate their needs so they can fully participate.
Because we value your children, we have a safe and secure check-in process. You may want to arrive at 15 minutes early to get your children settled—giving you the time to experience all that our services have to offer. Greeters at the check in stations will be happy to assist you.
Finding a church that is the right fit for you and your family isn't easy, so we've created several classes that are designed to help you learn more about the "how's" and "why's" of the way we do ministry. Meet some of our staff and ministry leaders, and begin getting plugged in to communities where you can really start forming deeper connections.
On the first Sunday of each month we host a Welcome Party at 10:10 am in the cafe (between services). We'll have some light refreshments together and you'll get to meet several of our pastors and ministry leaders. They'll share some of the things that are going on and especially focus on good ways for you to start getting connected to others at Fellowship.
Community groups at FCC support, learn, and serve for the greater worship of God and expansion of His kingdom. Whether you are new to FCC or a seasoned member, community groups are a place to delve deeper into the Word of God while forming God-glorifying bonds with brothers and sisters in Christ.
There are many Bible studies, classes and gatherings teaching on specific topics or reaching specific ages or life stages. We would encourage you to participate in some of these as a way to continue to grow spiritually alongside others in a smaller context than Sunday mornings.
One of the best way to be a part of the church body and to get to know others on a deeper level is to serve on one of the volunteer teams. There is a wide variety of opportunities, from Sunday morning welcome team, tech and worship teams, and our Fellowship KIDS program, but there are also ways to serve during the week by supporting other ministries here at he building or even meeting individual's needs.
We believe that the heart and purpose of membership in a local church is to enter into a covenant relationship with the other believers in the church with the goals of encouragement, joint participation in ministry, and continued spiritual growth. We offer a membership class that teaches more on what we believe and how we do ministry. It also covers other steps toward membership such as salvation, baptism and the church covenant.
Feel free to reach out to us at any time by sending an email to info@fellowshipsj.org or calling the main office at 856-235-1697. Or you can simply fill out the form below and we'll get back to your shortly.
Our address is 1520 Hainesport Rd., Mount Laurel, NJ 08054, and the sanctuary is located on the side with the large steeple on top of the building. That is also the side with the main lobby and offices. The other side of the building is the gym.
Most of our parking is "behind" our main sanctuary, which can be most directly accessed from the adjacent road, Cemetery Lane. There are also parking areas in front and to the side of our gymnasium and as parking lots fill up there is overflow parking in the grass stretching into the back field. Please note that if you park over by the gym, those doors remain locked to keep our kids classes secure, so you'll want to walk just a little further down to the sanctuary side of the building (the side with the steeple over it) to find the main entrances on the front and rear of the building.
Once you enter the sanctuary side of the building from the front or back side, you'll be in the main lobby. There you'll see some comfy seats and pub tables to share a quick conversation over, our children's checkin stations, the coffee area, and the Welcome HUB. We'd recommend you make your way to the HUB to introduce yourself. They'll point out where things are and answer any questions you might have, such as where to bring your kids. After that, they'll direct you into the sanctuary to join the service.
We are happy to offer dedicated childcare and Bible teaching starting at 6 months in the nursery and going up through 8th grade*. We emphasize age appropriate activities, crafts, learning, Bible memorization and fun so your kids can engage with the Bible at their level. All of this is run by rotating teams of volunteer teachers and helpers that have been vetted and trained with your child's well-being as our top priority. Learn more about Fellowship KIDS, our children's program, here.
*our second service children's program stops at 4th grade*
Absolutely, your kids are always welcome to stay with you in the sanctuary. And if you'd like to keep them with you, but your toddler needs to stretch their legs or your worried about them making too much noise, we have 2 "family rooms" at the back of both sides of the sanctuary (you can also access them from the main lobby). You'll have a large glass window into the sanctuary, the video feed on a tv, and peace of mind that a fussy baby isn't making too much noise. Many parents will also take extra active children or crying babies out into our main lobby where the service is being played on a large screen. If you need help finding the right place for your family you can always ask at the HUB in the lobby.
We have a special needs program aimed at helping children of all abilities participate fully in Sunday morning classes. Depending on your child's needs we can tailor a solution that will help them most and give you peace of mind. The first step would be to learn more about our program and then set up a chat with our special needs coordinator. Learn more about our special needs program here
We do take security seriously, especially in our Kids program.
First, all external doors on the children's side of the building remain locked during services and there is a system of monitored security cameras in place.
Next, we use a check in name tag system. This ensures we have an accurate list of children in our care at all times. And for younger children we also have a secure pickup tag system, so they can only be picked up by the person who dropped them off.
And last, we train our volunteers in safety procedures and appropriate child/volunteer interaction.

Our Sunday morning classes do not serve a snack or allow outside snacks to be brought into the classroom. Any other ministries that do serve snacks (such as VBS or soccer camp) request allergy information at registration and follow strict food guidelines.
We are a very casual "come as you are" type church. You'll see people wearing shorts and flipflops, pants and polos, skirts, dresses and even a few suits.
Our services typically run about 1 hour and 15 minutes long.
We spend time in worship together, singing a variety of modern worship music led by a full band. Most who are able stand at their seat. We keep the sanctuary dark and there are some colored lights on stage, but we don't use haze, lasers or lots of moving or flashing lights. Our people love to sing and we'd love to hear you with them.
Then there is the preaching time where one of our pastors teaches from the Bible. We focus on practical, Bible-centric teaching that really connects with every day life.
Many services close with a final worship song and then an optional time of prayer at the front for anyone who would like to pray with someone.
In the service we don't try to identify new people or ask them to stand or wave. We do make a request that you consider filling out a "connect card", which gives your name and email to our welcome team so they can follow up with you.
In the lobby some of our greeters may ask you if you're newer here. They like to make sure they don't miss saying hi to anyone, especially newer folks that might need help knowing where to go. They'll likely shake your hand and then direct you over to the HUB for a quick introduction.
We do mention giving during the announcement time, but always with the disclaimer that if you're new, we're just glad you're there and you should feel no pressure to give. We don't pass plates around, but rather ask people to give online or by dropping it in one of the giving boxes at the back of the sanctuary. Generosity is a beautiful fruit of the Christian life, but our church ministry is generously provided for by the gifts of our regular attenders. Visitors, guests, or those just trying to figure our if this is the right place for them should feel no pressure to give.
We are a non-denominational church with baptist roots. For a full description of what we believe and our statements of faith, click here.
Sundays can feel like a lot of people all at once without easy ways to meet people. Here are our 3 recommendations.
First, Sunday mornings are our primary time to gather for worship and teaching together, but not for deeper connections. Those happen best in small groups, and those happen throughout the week in one of our many community groups, Bible studies and gatherings. So find a smaller gathering to plug into and start connecting with others there.
Next, you should definitely stop by the HUB after the service to turn in your connection card. We're not just gathering names. Someone from our welcome team will follow up to personally help you find places to start getting connect that fit the needs of your family. Also, we'll give you a small welcome gift.
And last, you should attend the First Sunday Welcome Party. On the first Sunday of each month we have an informal gathering between services where newer folks get to meet the pastors and staff face to face, and share what brought them to Fellowship. It's a low pressure time where we can get introduced and start making connections with the staff. Plus, there's snacks!
