ABOUT US
Our Purpose
Our purpose, first and foremost, is to please our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We want to glorify Christ in our community, our region, and ultimately throughout the world. This purpose affects everything we do, from conducting our services to handling our ministries. We are striving to pass this purpose on to our church members, teaching from a biblical perspective what our purpose on this earth as a born-again believers should be.

Our Staff
Our History
Fellowship Baptist Church of Marshalltown, Iowa was founded in 1963.
Through the years the Lord has blessed in many wonderful ways with souls saved and called into full-time ministry around the nation. The question "have you heard the good news?" continues to be the theme of our heart as we strive to reach our area with the Good News. Jesus Christ is known and loved at Fellowship Baptist Church and it is our desire that others may know the joy and power of Jesus Christ and his love.
As recipients of God's unmerited grace, we have a zeal for spreading the good news of Christ! Our message to sinners is simple: call upon the name of the Lord and be saved! To believers, we say, join us in putting Christ at the center of life and strive to make Jesus known and loved.
At Fellowship Baptist one goal takes precedence over all else, making Jesus known and loved. To know Him is to love Him and our name reflects the truth that true fellowship is found in Jesus Christ.
