European Church Planting Partnership
For many years the church in Eastern Europe was in a state of decline, but recently people have regained a hunger for the Word of God and for the church. Fellowship Church partners with Doug & Dianne McClintic, who are originally from West Michigan and are now serving with the European Church Planting Partnership. Doug & Dianne work primarily in Hungary but often serve in other countries throughout Europe, and they offer training and support for new church planters and existing churches.
West Michigan Teen Challenge

Anglican Church of Uganda
The country of Uganda is one of the poorest countries in Africa, and Fellowship Church partners with the Anglican Church of Uganda to assist pastors & churches in their relief efforts. We help sponsor a dental clinic where services are provided free of charge, and we sponsor a micro-finance program which provides financial assistance to families who want to start their own small business. In addition to financial assistance, several members of our church family have traveled to Uganda to help with the church’s work.
Words of Hope
Words of Hope is an international ministry that communicates the Gospel through radio and other means to people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to hear the message of Jesus. Since 1945, Words of Hope has been taking the Gospel into some of the hardest-to-reach areas of the world, and currently they broadcast in over 30 languages to places like the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and Europe. Words of Hope is also involved in follow-up work with those who hear their broadcasts so that they can be connected to a local church.

CEPAD assists these families with small business development so that they can better financially provide for their families, and they also help with improving agricultural conditions so that crops produce more and better food.
