Fellowship Dallas

Summary: By 2026, Fellowship Dallas will become a training and launching ground for more than 10,000 men and women who will discover and live out their unique, God-given, Kingdom purpose in Christ. The Dallas Metroplex is a target-rich environment for the gospel. This increasingly complex and diverse city is made up of distracted, discontented and detached people looking for purpose, hope and happiness. Many are living “lives of quiet desperation” unaware of the joy and fulfilment available through Jesus Christ whose desire is to call them to an abundant life as He uses them uniquely to build His Kingdom and change the world. We have no shortage of churches in Dallas but we do have a shortage of churches that prioritize sending capacity over seating capacity. Jesus said, “Go, make disciples of all nations,” not “Come, sit and enjoy the show.” At Fellowship Dallas, we believe our first calling is life transformation through a relationship with Jesus Christ. This transformation results in a growing understanding of our God-given purpose to be pursued daily where we live, work and play. We delight to encourage and call one another to purposeful living as we worship, live together in community, and serve alongside one another. Our aim is to awaken people to the purpose of God, to reimagine our church as a starting place and coaching ground for followers of Jesus to discover their unique calling and then lead others on a similar journey. We believe that success is ultimately measured by successors. To that end, by 2026, we will depend on God for at least 10,000 people to be engaged in a repurposing process so they can experience the joy of identifying, connecting to and living out their God-given purpose in Christ every day in their homes, workplaces and communities. We see a future where new and long-time believers discover how their unique story combined with their unique gifts, talents, and experiences inspires them to gladly offer up their lives for the glory of God and the good of His Kingdom. We see men and women who are “ordained” plumbers and teachers and doctors and business leaders who view their job as a mission field. When God’s people are living life on purpose, confident of their calling, their joy becomes contagious and others are drawn to do the same. Compelled by the love of Christ, we will multiply this repurposing process through our personal relationships and our strategic partnerships around the world. We will celebrate what God is doing through thousands of shared stories. Can you see it? It will be inescapable for anyone attending Fellowship Dallas to be invited to experience the daily adventure of discovering and living out their God-given purpose. Each person who walks through our doors will see that God loves them and has created them on purpose, for purpose. They will hear countless testimonies affirming the fact that He desires to enter into their current situation and lovingly draw them to something more. Students will begin to see their school as a mission field. Young moms and dads will realize that they are not just parents but disciple-makers. Those who are tired of their jobs will be energized as they begin to see their work as a Kingdom assignment. Even those who have retired from the work force will begin to realize the freedom they have to put their experience, wisdom and gifts to work leading others in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. When we all see ourselves as repurposed agents of the Kingdom, experiencing the fullness of life lived as God’s missionaries where we are already doing life, we will be full of joy, contagiously attractive to others and influential for the Kingdom. We who have been awakened to the purpose of God and have re-imagined what life could be, will have the joy of awakening others to the call of God on their lives as we invite them to live on purpose with us.
