Starting a fellowhip can seem like a hard and overwhelming task. I have helped start two fellowships myself and have an ides about the ups and downs and things needed. Starting a fellowship is often the best answer if you don't have a felowship around you o if you don't agree with or seem to fit into the ones around you. Remember the reason to build a fellowship is to have a place for you and like minded people to come together and share and support each other. I have seen first hand how out of hand some churches or fellowships can get if not built on some basic sound principles.

How do you know if you can do it or not? Well, it's really not that tough and takes very little resouces. You ight look around at some of the churches and think I can't or don't want to build something that big. But the nice thing is size doesn't matter. If you have just a bible in hand you can start a fellowship. That being said structure and a few tools will certainly help you along the way. I am a big beleiver in the home fellowships. I have seen the lust for building the big congregation and just look at all the churches you will pobably see smiling happy faces but behind the scenes ther is backbiting and politics in almost every church I have seen. This is another reason I prefer the home fellowship. Something about a building takes on a life of it's own then the people start wanting to fight over who is in charge and what everyone has to beleive and how they have to dress. What happened to friends coming together and shareing what they have learned and supporting each other.

I will give you a basic outline of what I find important in starting a fellowship and also some free tools to help you create a fellowship and bible study welcoming and fruitful. Will also provide some links to resources and can even help you build a website for your congregation. Stay tuned as I update this page.Shalom!
