Worship Meetings

Christian Fellowship Church is a place where Christians from all denominational backgrounds join together in worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ in a family atmosphere. Meetings tend to be informal, using a blend of contemporary and traditional music, and teaching focusing on the full Word of God and its application to life.
