Our Networks

Fellowship Church is a networked community that values connecting with other organizations. Our desire to build a networked community of believers who have interconnected relationships would suffer greatly if the church organization was not leading the way by having strategic networking relationships. We want to share some of the key networking relationships that have combined to give birth and continuing accountability to Fellowship Church and it's staff.

	The Association of Related Churches (ARC) is an organization of pastors and churches that focuses on building strong relationships between pastors and ministry leaders. The ARC is available to encourage, provide guidance, and help with ministry development for pastors across the U.S. The goal of the ARC is to develop and share human and ministry resources to assist in church planting and growth, and to provide wisdom and guidance at no cost to the member churches. Offering counseling with pastors and their wives and staff on a needs basis is also a function of the ARC. Fellowship Church has been apart of the ARC since October 2009 and they have heavily backed our dream financially. We are proud to be an ARC church plant.

	The Crown Center is our parent church. Fellowship Church was birthed in the hearts of John & Shandra Youell as they served on staff at this church. The Crown Center has a vision of extending the Kingdom through church planting and see Fellowship Church as an extention of itself. Because of this love for Fellowship Church, The Crown Center has opened up their facility for us to use for our monthly meetings and various other functions. We are proud to be in relationship with those who love us and helped give us a place to birth a dream. The Crown Center is located at 13300 S. Western Ave.
	The Heartland Conference is a grouping of churches and ministries in the Oklahoma and Texas areas that offer relationship and accountability. This group, associated with IPHC Ministries has heavily partnered with us in the establishing of Fellowship Church. Together, we hope to partner to plant other churches like Fellowship Church in other parts of the states that the Heartland Conference is called to reach.

	Pastors Matt and Sarah Keller are the Church Planting Coaches for Fellowship Church. Their enfluence and partnership have been instrumental in our early success. During the months leading up to our launch, Pastor John attended a special training event called R9. This 9 day resency held on the grounds of Next Level Church in Ft. Myers, Florida was a turning point for Fellowship Church. Pastor John has trumpeted the importance of something like R9 to every church planter he has talked with. The only regret that we have is that we did not get into R9 earlier in the process. We are so grateful for the success we are having but can't help believing that we would have launched with 250 instead of 180 if we had gotten this training earlier. We are pleased to continue our coaching/mentoring relationship with Matt & Sarah and Next Level Church. Click Here for more information on Next Level Church
	IPHC Ministries is a 100+ year denominational organization that has taken to heart a desire to recreate itself through the planting of new cutting edge churches that are life-giving. IPHC Ministries has partnered with ARC to plant 50 churches together over the next 10 years. Fellowship Church is proud to be one of the first such churches planted with this organization. Unlike most denominations that we have been associated with IPHC Ministries is fresh, open and relationship oriented. IPHC Ministries offers us the ability to partner together to extend the reach of Fellowship Church world wide. Fellowship Church desires to be a model and trend setting church for this organization as it seeks to blaze a new trail in agressive church planting. We are proud to join forces together to reach people for the Kingdom of God. Click Here for more information on IPHC Ministries.
