Our church is not just about a weekly service on a Sunday morning or an occasional Bible study. We are a community of faith sharing our lives together throughout the week as well. Our community may offer weekly meetings, support groups and mission trips, but these are just the outward signs of life of this "Body of Christ."
Our common faith in our Lord Jesus paints the way we "do life together" and is the undercurrent of all our social interactions. We share our joys, successes and good times. We also share our hurts, disappointments and failures. Our Christian walk of faith encourages us to trust in God whatever the circumstance. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
We Are Followers
Ultimately, Christians are merely followers of Jesus. We follow Him, we are taught by the Bible, and are daily surrendering our lives to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In the simplest terms, it means we allow God, in the person of Jesus, to take the driver's seat and we go along for the ride!
That is what our church community is all about. We have people in many different stages of that journey. Whether you're a seeker and not sure what you believe yet, a new believer struggling with your new identity in Christ or a veteran Christian, you'll find others here that you can connect with right where you are.
We look forward to taking the journey with you!

About Fellowship Baptist Church
Fellowship was established in the fall of 1982. The church first met in an old storefront building in Star City. The first winter was a rough one as there was no heat or running water in the building! So the people brought blankets, a kerosene heater & huddled close as they worshiped the Lord. The fingerprints of God are all over this fellowship! He has provided for this church again & again in ways that are above & beyond what we expected. Through the years He has given us gifted leaders, wonderful members & facilities to use as tools to bless our church family & community! Currently we meet in on Sundays @ 10:00 at 52 West 100 South in Winamac. Our average attendance is 170. A one word description of our church is "COMPASSION". It's our passion to help people wherever they are in life experience the hope & healing that God promises! Life is hard but with God it is good!
