who we are

If you’re looking for a church where everyone has it all together, you might want to rethink your search! At Family Fellowship of Greenville, we’re all about being REAL—just like you.


When we gather each Sunday, we dive into messages that speak to everyday life. We skip the complicated language and seminary jargon, choosing instead to share God’s Word in a way that’s plain, simple, and truly relevant.


So, come as you are! That’s what Family Fellowship is all about:


REAL. RELEVANT. CHURCH.

what to expect

Expect to find a great place to worship.

Can you wear jeans? Absolutely. A suit and tie? Sure can. We’re much more interested in you being here than what you have on. So bring your children, bring your teens and invite a friend. We’re all ages here, just like a big family.

Our music reflects our theology. Sometimes it’s fast and fun and other times it’s reflective and thoughtful.

Our children’s leaders are pretty incredible. Having been engaged in songs and crafts as they learn to follow Jesus, the smile on your child's face following the service will tell the story louder than words.

If your little ones are nursery size, you’ll find the hearts of our nursery workers to be super-sized. They know just what it takes to love your little one while you spend some time worshiping.

If you’re looking to get connected, stop by the Welcome Center in the Plaza where someone can help you with just about anything related to Family Fellowship.
