FELLOWSHIP KIDS
Fellowship City Kids
We believe our kids are learning to live for more as well! And that teaching them to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. For this reason we seek to partner with parents (the greatest teachers of all!) to equip the next generation of leaders.
Each Sunday, Fellowship Kids provides fun, creative experiences, great worship and ministry that positions your children to learn great life-skills and share the love of Jesus with others. It's our prayer and desire that kids look forward to Sunday!

PreschoolOur 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.
-
ElementaryWe 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.
-
Nursery and ToddlerOur 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.

What's the Sunday morning experience like?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.
-
Any pointers on getting started at Fellowship or being better connected?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!
-
Is there a certain dress code on Sundays?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!
-
What are the messages like?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.

-
Which areas of ministry have internship opportunities?Next Gen, Worship, Media/Tech, Outreach. Church Planting/Campus Specific
-
Will I get a job at Fellowship after my internship?Internships should equip you for your future. The goal for every intern is an intentional season of growth – not a position at Fellowship City.
-
Do I need to have my own vehicle?We do ask that you secure your own transportation for the duration of your internship.
-
Is this a paid 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.
-
What does a typical week look like?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.
-
Is there housing provided?We are currently working on this feature for the internship. Please contact Jeff@fellowshipcity.org
-
Why Now?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.
-
Do I have to participate if I am new to Fellowship?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.
-
What is the best way to give?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.
-
What if I don’t have a lot to give?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.
-
Do I have to give everything at once?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.
-
Where can I get more information on GREATER?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.
-
How much should I give?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.
-
Should I direct my regular giving (tithe) to GREATER when it begins?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!
