A Community is a body of Christians sharing a common faith and discipline. The Fellowship Churches is a family of churches, ministries and ministers joined together in common faith and discipline in the apostolic order and historic Episcopal structure. The formation of this new Community is in reaction to no one, and to no doctrinal issue. It is our belief that there is a multitude of valid expressions of Christ's Church.
