Neighbors
Fellowship values the practice of biblical hospitality. What would it look like if every single Fellowship member/family opened their home to neighbors?

Nations
God is sovereignly bringing the nations to Central Arkansas (Acts 17:24-27). Sadly, statistics suggest that 80% of international students will return to their home country without ever being invited into an American home, and only 10% of them will be reached with the gospel while they’re here. Therefore, we desire to invite internationals into our homes to share a meal with them, befriend them, and introduce them to the Gospel.
English as a Second Language is one of the various ways we address this need. By the grace of God, we have a vibrant ESL Ministry across our different campuses. The primary goal of this ministry is to glorify God, and we do this by helping English language learners improve their English, inviting them to our homes, learning about them and what they believe, and faithfully sowing the Word of God as we build meaningful relationships with them.
If you are interested in volunteering for one of our ESL classes please email [email protected].
