GET TO KNOW US

Fellowship Baptist Church was founded in the fall of 1997. The first service was held in the Bluff City Elementary School auditorium in January of 1998. In the spring of that same year, the church was led by God to purchase property at an auction of the Thomas farm along State Route 390 in Bluff City, TN. In January of 1999 we began construction of the present sanctuary and held our first service in June of that year. The church continued to grow and the fellowship hall was completed in the spring of 2002. We truly believe that God has led us to this place to impact our community for Christ.

Joshua Rouse

Deacon, and husband to our Children's Ministry Director, Josh has stepped into the role of our Student Minister on an interim basis as he seeks God's direction. Even so, his knowledge of, and devotion to, Scripture makes us confident that our youth are receiving solid instruction as they face a world trying to convince them truth is relative.

Payton Rouse

Payton has been serving as our Children's Director since 2024, and her presence has brought with it a vitality and a zeal to teach the truths of the Gospel to even our youngest. Her desire is for our children to grow in Christ and to feel that they are just as much a part of this church as everyone else.
