Beautiful church. Beautiful Music Ministryā¦(ALL OF THEM! Men, Adults, Youth, All) from the moment I stepped foot in the door in the October of 2021 I was welcomed by the Beautiful Sister King! When I say the hug was timely and a hug! I have never received a hug like that because I am the person that gives those hugs. ā„ļøā„ļøš¤£I felt welcomed. I felt so welcomed and she was the primary reason I proceeded to the sanctuary. I wanted to attend a church that had the Old School Southern feel to it. Originality. Love and Holy Spirit presence. I wanted to feel « HOMEĀ Ā» my Southern Roots. Long story short, I have a strained relationship with church and within 6 months of just sitting in the pews, I joined. This alone should speak volumes but I will continue.
Now there is always room for growth. We are people meant to take and give constructive criticism. If it said that new members should be embraced in a specific manner then follow thru. I did my part in communication. I wrote an email that I was not obligated to write to inform the church of my abrupt disappearance and I had no follow up. It almost discouraged me because it took so long for me to return to church, then I joined the church and did not hear word back regarding my email. I was asking about how I could still be a participant from another state. I did not want to be just a virtual viewer and attendee. I wanted to pour back into what was pouring into me, even if I was in another state. That was frustrating but that is people within the church and NOT God. Emails from specific people within the church is phenomenal though so I will NEVER take away from that. ā„ļø
The experience mentioned about the failure to respond to an email has been the epitome of growth however. I have grown closer to God because of all that was experienced at this church.
There are some amazing people who pour into you. šThere are some people that do not pour into you the way that is expected. š
The music! I cannot stop talking about the music, the guest, the creativity, the praise dancer, the meat. The meat-the word! The word! I have been exposed to so many people in the Bible and their stories that I never knew existed. I NEVER heard a Pastor preach about sexual abuse until I attended here. I have never been interested in the semantics of politics until I attended here.
Overall between Bible Study, Sunday School, and the beautiful community events. This church is so beautiful and expansion is in their...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI know I left a review! I can leave another though. š Amazing! Incredible. Have experienced so much spiritual growth that words cannot express. I FOUND PEACE HERE! Never thought! Ooh but this is not about my testimony! š¤£People who visit Minneapolis, I be like āgo to my church!ā I tell non locals to YouTube us. I have never felt the love in a church that I know is present at FMBC. Each time I am honored to be in the physical presence I cherish it like it is my last. ā„ļøThis place. The teachings. The authenticity. The community outreach and service has pushed me in ways I was always too ashamed and afraid to go so thank yāall for growing me by exposing me to the God I thought I knew but now the God I really know. Pastor is such an amazing...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI love this church! As a 30-something, it was important for me to find a church that is progressive and welcome to all, yet still rooted in the Word. Pastor Elijah McDavid III is a phenomenal preacher whose sermons speak to the power of God's love for us and His desire for a more just world. I love the fact that this church does not shy away from politics and names the systems in our country that are not God's plan for us. I leave every Sunday feeling closer to God & growing in how to live out my faith. Plus, everyone is SO welcoming; I was immediately treated like a part of the Fellowship family the first time I stepped in the doors! Thank you Pastor McDavid & the rest of the Fellowship staff for creating this amazing...
