Our Story

Pastor Wes Jones dreamed of planting a church with a mission and a purpose that is derived from and driven by the heart of God- “Love God. Love people, and help the two become closer.” On July 15, 2012, a group of 24 leaders, The C.O.R.E.(Centered On Reaching Everyone), met together for the first time in the meeting room of a local restaurant in Oxford. It was here that Pastor Wes cast his vision, articulated his mission, and gave the the C.O.R.E. a purpose.

On August 12, 2012, weekly leadership meetings were moved to the Hilton Garden Inn due to the need for a bigger and more conducive setting. It was here that the first pre-launch service was held on August 26th with 60 people in attendance. So in November of that same year Fellowship Church launched at that same hotel and the rest as they would say is history.  Fellowship Church now resides at 2865 US HWY 78 W in Oxford.  God has truly blessed and we believe that the best is yet to come. 

Our Name

The name Fellowship Church was dropped into Pastor Wes’ spirit after reading 1 John 1:3 “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you may also have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son, Jesus Christ.” In the Greek, fellowship is koinonia. This means, “Communion by intimate participation.” Fellowship Church is a place where people can make a genuine connection with others that will eventually lead to a lasting relationship with Christ.

Our Mission Statement

Love God, Love People, and Bring The Two Together.
In summary, Fellowship Church’s mission is to love people and love God so much that we do whatever it takes to fulfill The Great Commission.

Our Vision

Fellowship Church is a church that is Christ-centered and Holy Spirit led. We envision a place where Biblically sound preaching and teaching are done in excellence. We aim to reach those that are hurting and discouraged by living, laughing, learning, and loving together. We envision a place where discipleship is strongly encouraged and practiced. No matter how large we may get in number, we want to always be a place where one can feel that everyone knows his/her name.

Our vision slogan: People building relationships through fellowship. (1 John 1:3)
