Fellowship Church

This is the gathering place of everyone who wants to SAY they go to church. They make you feel very welcomed, to encourage you to empty your wallets and volunteer your time. Once you give everything you have to give, you realize they’re extremely clique-​y. I volunteered there for YEARS, three to four times a week, and was never invited to hang out with the employees, watched them make plans in front of volunteers without inviting them, etc. but they LOVED the volunteers when they needed something done.
I was a scheduled volunteer for years and gave everything I had to better the FC community I was a part of. I walked in the LGBT Pride Parade in support of my roommates mom, who recently had the privilege of getting married to the love of her life (yes, another woman,) because I didn’t feel that my religion should determine other people’s liberties, and everyone at the church stopped speaking to me, stopped scheduling me for volunteer hours, and deleted me on social media.
It’s a nuts, very cult-​like group. Fun to attend if you feel like pretending to like church, but otherwise I’d skip it. There’s plenty of other churches who don’t want your money to fund the pastor’s daughters’ Louis Vuitton purses.

We love the messages from the Bible that the ministers deliver. We love the fact that we fell convicted in the messages every week and encouraged. I would say that if you are looking for a church home where you can learn about how to live a Christian life and make the world a better place for others — today this is your message! If you are somebody looking for a ‘Feel Good’ message this may not be a good fit. Also– FC for your children and teens is the best kept secret in DFW. I WISH i had this resource when our 3 were growing up! It would have been a huge help in a positive influence in helping our children learn first hand about how to make the world a better place for others.

Great Church and Deep Theology for those with an ear to hear. From the time you pull into the parking lot to the time you leave hundreds of Volunteers will be there to greet you with a smile answer your questions and try and make you feel as comfortable as possible and get you where you need to go. Fellowship has a great Children’s ministry that is the bench mark and shared with many other youth ministries. Parents are encourage to send the kids to age appropriate ministries leaving the adults free to worship uninterrupted and the kids are super happy too, having something more along what is fun for them. WIN WIN !
The worship and presentation is a creation and implementation of Fellowship Creative who are just basic members of the church using GODS gifts and is truly a blessing from GOD to have such talent. You get worship type music from Hill Song etc… And stuff the band and youth bands themselves wrote and recorded. Most people who just walk in sit and then leave may not realize the time thought and effort put in just for that one hour to present GODs Word in a creative and well thought out presentation. I went to a Christian concert at Verizon Theater last month and it was wonderful the music lights and presentation when I realized I get that every weekend at Fellowship and sometimes even better.
Ed Young the senior pastor strive to make GODs word relevant and easy to understand and put into practice in real life. His books are the same written with catchy titles but used for practical living.
Every Year Fellowship Church host C3 which stands for Creative Church Conference and Pastors from around the globe attend and are inspired by the sharing of Ideas in creative ways to present a creative loving GOD to a sick world. C3 Global is a worldwide mission organization.
Now I admit… I am biased. I have seen my children grow up in the church and turn out to be wonderful young adults which has been a huge blessing for me and the lovely wife. Now their Mom had a lot to do with it but partnering with Fellowship to instill GOD loving word into their lives has been essential.
Fellowship Church… It may not be for everyone and it may take more than one visit to fully get everything that Fellowship has to offer so I encourage anyone to take full advantage of the Child Care… Child Programs and Adult worship and give it a try.
To be clear so no one is freaked out… Members are encouraged to TITHE … as far as I know that is still GODs plan for financing the Church and keeping the lights on.
I have been attending for 15 years and a volunteer in one ministry or the other in Grapevine and Fort Worth and Keller Southlake.
Whether your looking for a church home or just want to check it out and see what we are doing … Please come by relax and enjoy what GODs people have prepared and cooked up just for you at the Table of GODS word here at Fellowship Church. Com

While the message may be good, I would caution whether to become an actual member. We were part of a satellite location in Allen Texas. Without warning we were notified the church couldn’t locate a building, etc. for a reasonable cost so we would have to move to the Grapevine church to continue. While it’s understandable with real estate costs at a premium, to provide no warning was shameful.
I had been attending from when they were located in Plano and finally moved to volunteer in the kids area. To continue after 90 days I must become a member. A reasonable and expected request. When I asked during a membership lunch about where tithing goes (I’d been tithing all along though not an official member), the response was «for all you see the church does. Except when looking into membership I requested financial information, nothing detailed, a simple audit to verify monies being handled appropriately. 6 emails, an apologetic phone call that it took 6 emails with a «i’ll have that to you next week» and two weeks later still no response, I decided this church was not worthy of my tithe. For a large church I would’ve imagined they’d have the business of acquiring members and answering all questions more organized.
This is just my own experience. Decide for yourselves.

There were no Bibles there. I tried this church hoping to get fed the word, only to leave there feeling the same. The pastor was all about himself. The Gospel was not taught here, and I will never go back!

I hate that I waited so long to write this review but here it goes. When my family and I moved to Fort Worth in Jan 2014, this is the first church we visited. I went the first time without my husband because he had to work. It was ok enough that the next weekend we came back. I didn’t really like the fact that it was a satellite church but I was willing to give it another chance. Guess what Ed spoke about? Tithing. Now there’s nothing wrong with tithing and teaching about it. We as a family tithe. What really had my husband and I furious was the he said, and I’m quoting him exactly, «How dare you come in here thinking the gospel is free?» WHAT??? I was appalled and saddened at the same time. What if there were people who came that morning having never heard the gospel and this is what they heard? Needless to say, we never went back.

Amazing, creative house of worship help my the lost. The worship staff, and pastors are wonderful people placed by God for you and I.

Sorry any church that promotes Glen Beck is out of my book. Funny thing is i have about 30 family members who actually play in the band and help out every week. I dont doubt many will stay but this is just crazy. Theyre making out Glen Beck to be an american while he is not. Made money of lies and conspiracy. Made the democrats to be demons, then turned around agai st the republicans! After that he goes on a crying rampade and apologizes ! After making millions and brain washing people! Even the Republicans had enough of his end of the world lies. And this church supports him!!! He is not a hero but a liar. He shouldnt be idolized to children. Keep exttemist politicians out of the church! He hates minorities.

Absolutely dumbfounded. Checked this church out for the first time today… didn’t read any of the reviews beforehand… didn’t feel like it was necessary… because it’s a place of worship… can’t be that bad. Now after reading all the reviews, I couldn’t agree more with the Unilocalers giving poor reviews and it’s really sad to hear.
We walked in and you can tell that they strategically place people EVERYWHERE to greet you. I literally didn’t want to make eye contact with anyone or say hi to anyone after 10+ people said hi to me. I wanted them to just leave me alone.
We couldn’t go in and sit down right away… they keep you in the waiting area until they open the doors and parade you in.
They attempt to make the music feel like a rock concert… and that’s fine and all… but they just focus on the production. All they did was change words to popular pop songs to pass them off as Godly.
The sermon was about nothing more than tithing. They passed around cards talking about the «90 day challenge»…giving 10% of your income to that church for three months… and that’s not all folks…“if you don’t feel blessed after those 90 days… there is a money back guarantee!!!” Ummm… sound like a freaking infomercial much??? They stressed how your money had to go to THAT church. And hey… they are giving away a free cruise on Father’s Day weekend… so weird!!!
The thing I regret most is not walking out of there in the middle.

No way. No way. No Way. A perfect fit for Dallas. A mile wide and an inch deep

We felt welcome the moment we pulled in. After going for awhile we decided to start serving and that’s when we really got connected. Then I realized how easy it was to invite friends to Fellowship… I knew they wouldn’t be treated awkwardly or overwhelmed with details about the Bible that they couldn’t implement in their lives. I knew we had to make a commitment to make FC our permanent home when I saw how my kids hearts were being affected by what they learned.
I have a different marriage because of Ed’s (sr pastor) series… I leave every service with a better understanding of who God is and how I can better follow Him.

Check it out. You will be glad you did!

I have been a member of Fellowship Church since 1999. The reason I loved it then and continue to love it now is the hospitality. Even though this is a large church, it is very easy to get connected with others and make lasting friendships. Beyond the hospitality the other main reason I love Fellowship is the the relevance of messages from Sr Pastor Ed Young as well as other pastors on staff. Message are relevant to anyone, no matter what walk of life you are in.
Something awesome to mention, is the fact that every weekend experience is mainly run by hospitable volunteers. The attitude of people serving here is like nothing I have seen before. A very great place to be on any given weekend.

Wow! More like a crazy money grubbing cult than a church. Beware!
1. There are only 2 types of books in the church bookstore ones written by Ed Young and the Bible. Far fewer copies of the Bible than Ed Young books.
2. All music is that church’s own music no widely known worship songs this way they can keep everything isolated.
3. No signs of community or global outreach. They obviously have plenty but it seems to all line Ed Young’s pockets. Very sickening!
4. There are lanyards and signs displaying Ed Young’s name EVERYWHERE ummmm shouldn’t a church be displaying God’s name everywhere.
5. We were told during the service that we were in the «best place in the world» and that no one «looked as good as we do right now» ummmm I don’t think so. What about all the great life works going on… I cannot believe I heard this.
We left about half way into the service… never going back. I think this church is dangerous as it gives church a bad name in general, it may scare people away from the authentic love of God.

Attended a few times until I noticed that at every service giving them money was mentioned. EVERY TIME. I think giving them money was mentioned more than God.
Also, with all the money they receive, when you call for financial help or even for food, they send you to the CATHOLIC CHURCH! WTH??? They dont give back to the people in their own community. Turning away poor people while the pastor sits in his $ 1M+ home? FOR SHAME!

Here are my issues with this church.
1. I used to attend on a regular basis; but no longer do because I have relocated to San Antonio. I actually stopped going when I lived in DFW for the reasons below.
2. No one really reached out to me to make me feel welcome. I think I signed myself up for the new comers class; but never made it because I just didn’t feel like I belonged. It is way too big for its own good.
3. VIP section at the very front? A lot of reserved seats? I have never seen this before or since at my other churches. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Pretty sure Jesus doesn’t have a VIP front row section for all the Big Whigs of the church. Terrible.
4. I find it ironic that I am getting robo-​calls advertising this church. Really?! It went off twice when I was at my desk and was WAY annoying. (I know, I forgot to put it on silent; but still.) That also puts a very bad taste in my mouth. I have to email the church to remove me from their list. Really??? Really.
5. It’s just too gimmicky for my liking. I much prefer Denton Bible Church where you genuinely dig into your Bible and *really* take something away. It’s straight forward and not filled with robocalls and a giant production.
I feel like Jesus isn’t their top priority.
I feel like it’s how big and flashy and in your face they can possibly be.

This review is more in response to others out there about this church so we might as well clear the air on this stuff.
Yes– this is a mega church. You can get lost in the crowd and throngs of people on Sunday. HOWEVER, if you are serious about your walk with Christ and truly want to live a Christian lifestyle, all you have to do is involve yourself (more than just showing up 5 minutes late to service one Sunday a month), and the crowd is no longer overbearing.
Yes– this church does want to be popular. EVERY church wants to be popular. It allows your church to grow. Just because a church WANTS to be popular, does not mean that everything and everyone is shallow.
Does Ed Young make a crap ton of money? Yes. Does he write and sell books for profit? Yes. Does that make him evil? No. Does he get money from my tithe? No. EY does not take a salary from the church — something that Watermark’s pastor does, something that Irving Bible’s pastor does, something that the Village’s pastor does. Does that mean they are evil? No — it just means they haven’t had the success selling their books (if they have penned any) that Ed Young has. The big question is does Ed Young and his family give back the money that God has blessed them with? The answer is a resounding yes.
This church is geared towards young and old, new Christians and people that have been Christian for a long time and most of all, this place is geared to take in sinners. We’ve all sinned and fallen short. So that means everyone is welcome. The sinful lifestyle is not to viewed positively BUT we will love on you as a person and help you become the man or woman of Christ that you want to be.
Come to service. Not just once though. Give it a few times. Than go visit other churches in the area. Don’t judge a church too quickly is all I have to say. I have been a member at the Downtown Dallas campus 5+ years and while I have not loved some services or not been entranced by Ed Young’s sermons sometimes, I still have not lost my love of Christ and His Church and I still attend because it’s a faith thing.

First of all, this is a mega church so if you are looking for a small to medium sized church this may not be for you. However it is a wonderful, bible believing, church that is both spiritually fullfilling and alot of fun. This is a worship church as opposed to a bible study style church. You will get an applicable message, but the focus is on worshiping Christ and asking him to be a bigger part of your life.
They offer programs for every member of the family; parenting classes, parenting of teens, middle school and high school church on Wednesday nights (called The Mix), motorcycle club, disaster response team and even a youth summer camp in beautiful East Texas (Allaso Ranch).
If you are looking for a new place to worship or just in town on a visit, come check it out. Services are 6pm Saturdays and 10am and 11:30 am on Sundays. Pastor is Ed Young, Jr.
They offer women’s conferences (Flavour), men’s conferences and conferences for other pastors and worship leaders. A great book store and coffee shop as well.
You can also watch live services at
. Check it out and see if its for you.

Good music and I believe they probably have the right ultimate goal at heart. We really get a lot out of the messages usually, even if it’s a new person preaching every week.
BUT, they are extremely, extremely gimmicky. Loud productions draw people in, but can’t you spend your money to help those who really need it and still entertain new visitors (I mean, is TECHNO music and jump houses in the entryway necessary??).
Just to give a couple examples, pastor Ed Young was preaching and was using an analogy about a club. All of the sudden, club music starting playing VERY loudly as he tried to talk through it for literally five minutes. Seriously? Also, the worship music is great, but has a «rock concert» vibe to it.
I also don’t like the fact everyone on stage seems to be in perfect shape, have perfect teeth and is attractive. (I might bet the pastor and his wife have had facelifts.) The whole thing just seems a bit fake, but as I said, the music is great and the messages are usually relevant and helpful.

I’ve been coming here for over 6 years with my boyfriend and now 13 year old. There is something for everyone.
Plenty of groups for men (Men of the House), women (Flavour), Kids/​Student (for all different age groups), Bike Riders, Singles, Creatives, etc.
If you look, you’ll find something you can be a part of.
There are different campuses for your convenience as well and music is Awesome!
I would recommend attending a whole series to get an accurate view.
03/​2011The Childrens Programs are awesome and very well organized. My son who is 11 goes to Merge which is targeted especially for middle schoolers. My nephew who’s 6 loves coming here with me as well. The music makes you feel like your in a concert. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. This is the best experience I’ve ever had and the service are always relatable.
