The Fellowship is a Christian church focused on following Jesus in the way of peace, justice, and community. We were founded in 1975, and have been actively at work in the St. Louis Community ever since. We seek to embody Jesus' way as individuals, in the church, and with the world.
Personal journey: We live in a world shaped by power and control, and we gather to explore another way of being human, teaching and preaching against war, practicing community discernment, and deepening our relationship with God through Bible Study, prayer, and worship.
Faith Community: we are called to build up the body of Christ through all of life. So we share in monthly common meals, offer care to each other at times of crisis or transition, support children in their growth, and welcome people from all walks of life, with diverse theological perspectives. We're open to any question as we seek to follow Jesus and tell the Good News.
Mission to the world: we have been actively involved in the St. Louis community and around the world for many years. Here are some of our outreach projects.
The Fellowship is a member of Mennonite Church USA, and the Illinois Mennonite conference.
