Fellowship Church was founded in 1977 by Pastor Kenneth Johnson. He began with a dream and a core group of 12 people who gathered for Friday night teachings in various homes. As more and more people began attending, the group became too big to continue meeting in homes, so they rented an old church building in Momeyer, NC. This building was a real fixer upper with no running water and no bathrooms. In spite of these obstacles, the church still continued to grow. Pastor Johnson felt it was time to upgrade from that dilapidated building, so the church purchased six acres of land on Old White Oak Road in Nashville, NC and placed a mobile unit on the property where they held meetings while making plans to build their first real church facility. God gave Pastor Johnson a name for the church: Nashville Praise & Worship Center, and two years after purchasing the property, the congregation held its first meeting in their very own, new brick facility. The church continued to grow, and in 1985, they built a larger sanctuary. In 1990 they built a family life center gymnasium, but soon had to use this facilty as a sanctuary because of more growth. In no time at all, they outgrew this facility as well. Pastor Johnson then found himself faced with dilemma. In the mid 90's The church needed to, once again, build an even bigger sanctuary, but when he tried to expand on the existing property, he discovered that they were land locked. This; however, did not deter his vision. God opened the door for the church to purchase 26 acres of land on Highway 58 in Nashville, and August of 2002, we began having services in our current 1000 seat sanctuary. In September 2007, we celebrated 30 years in the ministry, and God spoke with Pastor Kenneth about making some changes. Pastor Kenneth turned over the office of Senior Pastor to his son, Michael, who was (and still is) our music director, and Pastor Kenneth moved into the office of bishop, or overseer of the ministry. In other changes, he appointed Ricky Head as our associate pastor. God began to deal with Bishop about changing our church name to mark a new era in our ministry. After much prayer, he chose the name Fellowship Church because we are all about people. God has a great future in store for Fellowship Church. We know that the best is yet to come. |
