The Fellowship Community


The Fellowship Community, formerly known as the Fellowship of Presbyterians, arose from a movement started by seven pastors from some of the largest PC churches in the United States in 2010. The movement gained momentum when they met in August 2011 at a planning and organizational meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota and began drafting essential tenets and refined polity for a new reformed body. A second gathering of the movement in January 2012 resulted in a new denomination known as Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. However, the Fellowship Community is committed to remaining in the PC and "is not a waiting room for departure".
In June 2014, the FOP parted ways structurally with ECO and shortly thereafter, joined with Presbyterians for Renewal to work with gospel-centered congregations and individuals in the PCUSA. In August 2014, the FOP and PFR began re-branding to become known as The Fellowship Community. The two groups fully merged in January, 2015. Presently, the Fellowship Community has approximately 183 member congregations within the PC.
