The Vision
Real Life Fellowship will begin in a home, developing a strong spiritual core with like minded Christians. The vision of Real Life Fellowship is a body of believers who long to serve outside the church walls. Cultivating the thought that ministry is not church-building-focused and is community-focused. Delivering the worship experience and love of God to the homeless, poor, and those that feel that the church would never accept them. Bringing the church to the community. Experiencing Vacation Bible School, Church Services, and Ministry Events in community parks and other common spaces. Feeding the homeless, clothing the poor, and meeting needs. Focused on serving people from all classes, races, and backgrounds. Beginning in a home to build a strong connection with one another. Focusing on discipleship, leadership and missions. Ministering to the needs of the community and beyond. This group will utilize the advantage of a global ministry through streaming and social media channels building a world wide community of believers. Embracing technology that reaches beyond the walls of any church. This mission minded ministry will encourage its members to go out and serve their community and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Get Outside
Developing the thought that ministry is not church-building-focused and is community-focused. Meeting all people where they are presently experiencing life. Showing them the love of God in a REAL tangible way. Letting them see and experience the love of God.
