Summer – Blockbuster or Flop?
(Guest post by Buddy Cremeans)In the heat of the summer, visit any church in America and you would probably describe your encounter as a "lackluster experience" more than a "blockbuster experience." Not at Fellowship Church! Even the biggest critic couldn't argue their runaway smash summer success...

A Quick Shout Out
When it comes to creativity, I think it's good to borrow ideas from other leaders. I think it's important. But I think it's even more important to give credit where credit is due.

C3 – Revisited
C3 - What a phenomenal conference! The past several days have seen one of, if not the greatest movement of God in the history of Fellowship Church. Men and women of faith from all over the world converged on our Grapevine campus for three days of preaching and teaching from some of the world's greatest communicators and leaders. And it all culminated Friday night with a moving altar call from Bishop T.D. Jakes. As he prayed that ...
