ABOUT US
The ministry at Level Community Fellowship began on August 25, 2019 as a Bible study group meeting on Sundays. From the onset, it was apparent that the formation of a non-denominational church body was needed, following the Holy Spirit’s lead and using only the Word of God as its doctrine. After forming a central operating committee to advise and keep accountability, the work began to establish an active and vital ministry for the work of transforming our world from our little corner of the county. From seasonally appropriate services to community involvement such as mission support and meeting various local needs, there is a varied and exciting venue always open to new ideas. This group of believers can be found faithfully proclaiming the Word through traditional and contemporary ideas using their abilities and Spiritual Gifts to glorify God. It is with this kind of conviction to and admonition of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that the ministry of Level Community Fellowship was formed and pursues as its mantra. As the slogan states, we are Christ Centered and Family Friendly. Come join us anytime as we celebrate the glorious good news of the Gospel and praise together as God’s people.
