Test

Summer Blast is FREE this year due to the overwhelming generosity of a few families that wanted to be sure every child could attend.

ABSOLUTELY! In fact, that's highly encouraged!

Nothing! We'll provide everything your child needs to have a fun time! If you'd like to send in a water bottle, please make sure it is labeled with your child's first and last name.

Absolutely! The Children's Lobby will be open as well as the Office Entrance Lobby. If you'd like to join our Volunteer Team, contact City Kids at kids@fellowshipcity.org.

Light snacks and water will be provided each night. We encourage families to feed their children dinner before arriving. On the final night of Summer Blast, we will be hosting Family Night where all children AND their families will receive dinner along with our fun night of games, crafts and praying over our missionary projects.

Nope! Come as often as you can! Registration will be open each night.

Our Preschool Room is filled with fun, interactive stations where the kids are encouraged to use their imagination, and develop healthy relationships with their peers through the modeling of Godly character. Under the guidance of our amazing Preschool Team, the kids experience a large group lesson, time of worship and 3-5 small group activities every Sunday.

We want Sunday mornings to be something our elementary kids look forward to every week! In addition to providing them with a fun, loving and welcoming environment, we strive to instill biblical truth into their hearts and minds through large group teachings, worship and small group activities. Our mission is to help them understand clearly who God is and what He desires for their life. We want their identity to be rooted in Christ so that, as they grow, they are a reflection of Him to everyone they meet.

Our Nursery and Toddler teams provides a loving, nurturing and secure environment where each child is cared for with gentle arms, warm smiles, and individual attention. We want your child to have a positive “first-church” experience, and see the love of Jesus reflected in every interaction. ​ In order to ensure that children are kept safe physically, emotionally and socially, all of our workers have been background checked, and adhere to strict guidelines outlined in our policies and procedures.

Each Sunday we gather at both our locations (Chagrin and Orange) for a meaningful experience. This happens through worship and Bible-based teaching. Services last just over an hour and we offer Kids' Church at both locations (all services). Arrive a little early and visit the Connections Desk or check in your kids at the City Kids' lobby.

Yes! It's always helpful to arrive early and plan on staying a little late. Again, we call ourselves Fellowship because that's what we do! We love to be in community. While here, we'd love to direct you toward our Connections Desk or make plans to attend our Meet Fellowship experience that happens once a month. Plus, we feature Growth Track multiple times a year; it's your best first step in jumping into all things Fellowship. Speak to someone at Connections for it all!

Absolutely not! You'll catch jeans, dress slacks, track pants...pretty much anything on the dress spectrum on any given Sunday. You don't see a suit all that often, but if you want to rock a suit, you go for it!

Each Sunday, the messages are sourced and rooted in the Word of God--the Bible. Everything we do stems from God's Word, and the messages are the same. Plus, each message typically has a practical, every-day application to it so that you can walk it out in your everyday life.

Fellowship City Worship Internship focuses on the development of worship leaders. Interns will gain ministry experience at all campuses. They will learn how to facilitate worship in multiple environments from Youth, Young Adults, Sunday services, along with worship nights. They will learn the value of production, song selection, and the importance of team dynamics. Interns are expected to be self-motivated, organized, and people-oriented leaders who have a passion for leading worship.

Fellowship City Outreach Internship focuses on developing interns to gain a passion for their community and world. Outreach interns will work alongside our Love Your Neighbor staff to identify community needs and mobilize our church to partner with existing organizations to serve those in our local community. Outreach interns will maintain relationships with our designated ministries and organize service projects. Interns are expected to be self-motivated, organized, and people-oriented leaders who have a passion for outreach.

Fellowship City Church Planting Internship focuses on developing interns to minister and understand the inner workings of a new church. The intern will be involved in Sunday Morning Services from beginning to end. Church Planting interns will be involved with internal/external campus meetings, pastoral moments, serving at various campuses, building relationships with the volunteers, crafting communication skills, and event management for Fellowship City events. Interns are expected to be self-motivated, organized, and people-oriented leaders who have a passion for their community.

Fellowship City Media/Tech Internship focuses on learning many aspects of audio, video, and lighting production. Interns will be given a chance to help oversee the technical execution of Sunday services and collaborate with campus ministries (i.e. Sunday services, worship nights, youth/young adults, and Summer Blast). The Media/Tech interns will learn the value of collaboration along with the ability to take direction and implement the vision given by our leadership team. Interns are expected to be self-motivated, organized, people-oriented, and have a passion for quality.

Fellowship City Next Gen Internship focuses on equipping interns to minister to children, youth, and young adults. The internship provides an opportunity to work with campus teams. The interns will spend time developing relationships with students/volunteers, along with assisting in the planning and execution of kids, youth, and young adult events. Interns are expected to be self-motivated, organized, and people-oriented leaders who have a passion for the next generation.

Internships should equip you for your future. The goal for every intern is an intentional season of growth – not a position at Fellowship City.

We do ask that you secure your own transportation for the duration of your internship.

This is an unpaid, educational internship program. However, a $200 per week stipend will be provided to help offset any expenses you may incur as a part of the internship program or you can choose to have the $2000 applied to your college tuition.

Each area of ministry has its own rhythm. There will be some standard meeting times as interns but your mentor will work with you to ensure the best use of your time and schedule.

We are currently working on this feature for the internship. Please contact Jeff@fellowshipcity.org

We believe God has uniquely positioned us to reach the East Side to reach the world. As we’ve followed the lead of the Holy Spirit, He has steadily granted us increased favor. With so many churches in our community currently in decline, we believe the time is NOW to move forward with our vision, to be fully prepared for the harvest to come.

No one has to participate, but we hope you will consider it. In the same way someone sacrificed and gave to create a seat for you, we want you to experience the joy of creating a seat for someone else.

As you make your commitment, you can set up how you would like to give – weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually, which can be done in person or online. You can also give via stocks, investments, personal property, etc. Please let us know if you have any questions about gifts in kind.

It’s not about the size of the gift, it’s the size of the sacrifice. Sometimes those with little bring the greatest gifts of all because it represents a very deep, personal sacrifice. God sees what you bring far more clearly than anyone else does.

Please bring the first fruits of your commitment to the final week of the GREATER series on Sunday, October 1, 2023. This will be whatever amount of your overall commitment you are able to give at this time. Then, you can choose to give weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually over the three-year GREATER timeframe.

There are many ways! Make sure you don’t miss a single week of the GREATER series starting Sunday, September 10, 2023, or check out the series on our YouTube Channel. You can also email us anytime at greater@fellowshipcity.org.

This is a great question! It’s not about equal giving, it’s about equal sacrifice and a unified heart towards GREATER. We are asking everyone to give above and beyond their regular tithe, and because everyone has different incomes and expenses, this means different sacrifices and gifts.

No, your gift to GREATER should be above and beyond your regular tithe. If you don’t already tithe, we encourage you to start there and see how God proves Himself faithful to you!

· State the emotions you are feeling as words, e.g., “I feel angry and worried right now.” (Aloud, but to yourself.) · Put something that is out of place in its place. (Physical order often helps us feel a sense of mental order.) · Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Then, ask yourself, “How would I cope if that happened?” Now, answer those questions. · Take a break from actively working on solving a problem and allow your mind to keep processing the problem in the background. · Forgive yourself for not foreseeing a problem that occurred. · Try a guided mindfulness meditation. (Use Google to identify free resources; there are some good ones out there.) · If a mistake you have made is bothering you, make an action plan for how you will not repeat it in the future. Write three brief bullet points. · Ask yourself if you are jumping to conclusions. For example, if you are worried someone is very annoyed with you, do you know for sure this is the case—or are you jumping to conclusions? · Ask yourself if you are catastrophizing, i.e., thinking that something would be a disaster, when it might be unpleasant but not necessarily catastrophic. · Forgive yourself for not handing a situation in an ideal way, including interpersonal situations. What is the best thing you can do to move forward in a positive way now? · If someone else’s behavior has triggered anxiety for you, try accepting that you may never know the complete reason and background behind the person’s behavior. · Recognize if your anxiety is being caused by someone suggesting a change or change of plans. Understand if you tend to react to changes or unexpected events as if they are threats. · Accept that there is a gap between your real self and your ideal self. (This is the case for pretty much everybody.) · Question your social comparisons. For example, is comparing yourself only to the most successful person you know very fair or representative? · Think about what is going right in your life. Thinking about the positive does not always work when you are anxious, but it can help if anxiety has caused your thinking to become lopsided or is obscuring the big picture. · Try gentle distraction; find something you want to pay attention to. The key to successful use of distraction when you are anxious is to be patient with yourself if you find you are still experiencing intrusive thoughts. · Look back on the anxiety-provoking situation you are in from a time point in the future, e.g., six months from now. Does the problem seem smaller when you view it from further away? · Imagine how you would cope if your “worst nightmare” happened, e.g., your partner left you, you got fired, or you developed a health problem. What practical steps would you take? What social support would you use? Mentally confronting your worst fear can be especially useful for reducing anxiety. · If you are imagining a negative outcome to something you are considering doing, also try imaging a positive outcome. · Jot down three things you worried about in the past that did not come to pass. · Jot down three things you worried about in the past that did occur, but were not nearly as bad as you imagined.

· Pray · Look up Biblical Scriptures or Stories that relate to what you are feeling · Turn on Worship Music · Start serving someone or somewhere in the church or community · Look up sermons or podcast that relate to anxiety and they are grounded in Scripture

· Take a slow breath. Continue slow breathing for 3 minutes. · Drop your shoulders and do a gentle neck roll. · Massage your hand, which will activate oxytocin. · Take a day trip somewhere with natural beauty. · Take a bath. · Take a break from watching the news or reading newspapers. · Throw out something from your bathroom. (The order principle again.) · Make a phone call you have been putting off. · Write an email you have been putting off. · Take another type of action on something you have been putting off. · Throw something out of your fridge. · Take a break from researching a topic you have been over-researching. · Scratch something off your to-do list for the day, either by getting it done or just deciding not to do that task today. · Ask a friend or colleague to tell you about something they have felt nervous about in the past, and to tell you what happened. · Do a task 25 percent more slowly than usual. Allow yourself to savor not rushing. · Get a second opinion from someone you trust. Aim to get their real opinion rather than just reassurance seeking. · Allow yourself to do things you enjoy or that do not stress you out, while you are waiting for your anxious feelings to naturally calm down. · Go for a run. · Find something on YouTube that makes you laugh out loud. · Lightly run one or two fingers over your lips. This will stimulate the parasympathetic fibers in your lips, which will help you feel calmer. · If you rarely back out of commitments and feel overwhelmed by your to-do list, try giving yourself permission to say you can no longer do something you have previously agreed to do. · Do any two-minute jobs that have been hanging around on your to-do list. It will help clear your mental space.
