The friendly environment. All of the "dream team" made me feel like a regular church member the moment I walked through the doors! I also felt the overwhelming presence of God as I walked in..it's an unbelievable feeling! Pastor Shawn Nepstead spoke in a way I've never heard, he added "today's talk" while referring to the Bible times! I totally understand the whole topic he was preaching about..and he was entertaining! I wasn't put to sleep at all. Trust me when I tell you, Fellowship Church is by far the best church I've been too! I give it 1,000 stars! read more

I love this Church, the people are warm and welcoming the worship music, inspirational. The pastors are very humble. The members of all ages and all nationalities. It is a big church with many small groups. With lots of activities. If you're looking for a Church home, Fellowship Church is amazing. read more

Fellowship Church - At church - Churches Near Me - Antioch, California

Very welcoming staff. They have a front desk to guide and answer questions that you may have. Also they have adult and children's Bibles to encourage reading at no cost. There is a open service area in the lobby if you have service animals as they do not allow them in the sanctuary. That's the only drawback for me. read more

A Place to Grow, Serve, and Experience God's Presence Fellowship Church has truly become a home for me and my family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed--not just by the smiles and handshakes, but by the presence of God moving in worship and through the people. Over the past year, I've experienced incredible spiritual growth here. The Freedom curriculum, Growth Track, and men's small groups have challenged me to go deeper in my faith and walk in the freedom Christ died to give us. I've met men who genuinely want to grow, serve, and support one another. I have had the opportunity to serve on two different teams, and I can honestly say: this church is full of people who love God and love people well. Every Sunday feels purposeful--each service is done with excellence, but never loses the heart of why we gather. The church also does an incredible job making space for new believers and those returning to faith. It's not just about attending; it's about becoming part of a family on a mission for hope and healing. If you're looking for a church that teaches the Word, encourages spiritual growth, and equips you to serve with your gifts--Fellowship is it. All glory to God for what He's doing here! read more

Fellowship Church - Churches Near Me - Antioch, California

This is the worse spot to place a church in. Every parking spot for other businesses around are always taken which forces them to put up signs that it's for their parking only. They should've thought twice about the availability of parking spaces they have. Soon enough they'll start towing cars away. Ya'll better be careful! read more

Fellowship Church - Unnecessary traffic - Churches Near Me - Antioch, California

I attended the candlelight Christmas services that they invited the community to on Instagram. I always wanted to view a candlelight ceremony on Christmas, so I took two of my sons there with me. It was a beautiful moment when the candles were all lit in unison and we were in the dark after a wonderful sermon of Jesus being the ROCK as our foundation instead of being built on sand and a shaky foundation. It really was a moving event that actually brought me to tears. People were so friendly and happy and the pastor's wife welcomed us in the front (I just knew her from the IG-never met her before but as I shook her hand it was like a comfort feeling that i knew her). The front entry was beautifully decorated with multiple Christmas trees and great place for family photos! They had brought in snow (how do you do that!?) for the kids to slide down in snow tires and my grandson loved it! I usually do not like flashy rock concert style of singing at churches-I don't know why, but I am more into the quieter churches and the congregation singing. BUT I actually enjoyed the singing here. It is a very big church that they had tv screens for you to see everything, so that may be intimidating for some, But everyone was welcoming and seemed to love it there! I have heard nothing but good things about the church and the pastor there and his inspiring sermons. I know people who come from other cities to this church and I have seen them grow, but never attended. I am still kind of shy(bc it is so big), but I think I would like this church. I have been to many different churches even ones that others rave about, but I usually got red flags or it didn't feel comfortable to me-this one was the closest to a church I felt at home. So THANK YOU Fellowship for inviting the community and you did a beautiful job! read more

First of all, I don't like to talk about a church. So I'm just gonna say I'm only saying what I'm gonna say. So people know what they're walking into before they do I went there the first time the sermon seemed to be good until she started speaking in tongues. There was no interpreter, so it made me feel very uncomfortable. I talked to somebody that had worked there and they said they don't do weddings and they don't do. Somebody. Died even if somebody worked there, they won't even say they died. I also heard that the pastor's the wife and the husband have body guards that you can't talk to them personally. What type of pastor has body guards? You only have body guards when you do wrong that. That's just my opinion to me. It seems like a cold. Just my opini, recommend you check it out and make your own opinion. read more

Fellowship Church - Spirit Wars - Churches Near Me - Antioch, California

I love this church! The worship, the DreamTeam, the smalls groups, everyone is amazing.

To start this off, Pastor Shaun and Dianna are wonderful pastors this post has nothing to do with them personally. This post has to do with the "dream team." I attended fellowship church for about a year and joined the dream team. I found this church when I was in a very dark place and I had finally thought I found my people. Turns out, this so called "dream team" is probably the fakest people I have ever met. They pretend to be your friend but then will completely throw you aside and insult you with snarky comments and such. I became pretty close with some of the youth leaders and had opened up to them about some personal things only to get judged and have it thrown in my face. They pretend to care but really they just go and gossip with each other. They are such Hippocrates. They preach about not gossiping, being kind, etc but yet they are the ones who need to practice what they preach. It's disgusting and I ended up feeling more miserable than ever so I left the church. If you are going to visit this church go for it because of how amazing pastor shaun and Dianna are. They give the most amazing sermons that touch your heart but I would stay clear from the dream team and getting close to anyone there. Good luck. read more

I first watched videos of Pastor Shaun's sermons online, and his preaching made scripture relatable and understandable. After considering him one of my favorite preachers, I realized his church is not only in my state, but just across the bay--- Then I met the Nepstad family on separate occasions at a restaurant I work at in the airport on their way to a missions trip, and they are all genuinely kind and have big hearts to serve the lord. I've visited on a Christmas service and felt at home. Now that I'm homebound in self quarantine with our newborn, I have been watching their online streams. Their worship inspires me, and I can't wait to get back and serve at my local church! read more

This church has become like a second home to me. Everyone is so welcoming, Pastor Shaun and Pastor Dianna are wonderful pastors. Their sermons are so relatable and even the younger generation can relate to their messages. Being a part of the Dream Team and Small Groups has helped me build healthy friendships with so many wonderful people! I will always recommend Fellowship to my friends, family and others that may need hope and healing. read more

Pastor Shaun and his Beautiful-Amazing-Wife, Pastor Dianna are the MOST-amazing-Leaders I've EVER been under! I totally admire the amazing-Dad and Mom they are to their amazing-Beautiful-Daughters and Handsome-Son!! Pastor Shaun is an amazing-example of what a Godly-Husband and Dad is and should be for our younger-Men; especially for fatherless-Young-Men! I am SO blessed and grateful to our LORD for leading me to Fellowship to be under these two-Amazing-Leaders and I thank our Heavenly FATHER everyday!!! I LOVE how they teach from GOD'S Bible! They LOVE ALL people no matter WHO You are BUT will tell You the truth about what our LORD says about the lifestyle You should live! if ANYONE says ANYTHING negative about this Church it's because they are NOT ready to die to their old-way of living and start living GOD'S ways as our LORD instructed us to live in The Bible!! Fellowship is the BEST Church I've EVER been a member of! Praise GOD!!! Pastor Shaun is teaching us on Developing!! Yesterday's message was amazing!!! Thank You Pastor Shaun! read more

One of the best places to worship in the area. I've been to several churches, everyone is different but I think this place is great in focusing on the youth :-). A place where your kids and teens will definitely love coming back to praise and worship with the family! read more

I was asked by a family member if I'd like to attend church with her one Sunday. I wasn't really looking for a church & have always been skeptical of organized religion. I was going through a very tough time in my life: an unexpected divorce after more than a decade in an unhappy marriage, I didn't have a home, my Daddy had just passed away, etc. Fellowship Church & that family member saved my sanity. Pastor Shaun speaks as if it's only the two of you in the room. He is so focused & preaches on a level that the average person can understand. I bring tissues every week. I feel like I've found a little piece of sanity & love in this crazy world. Give it a try as you just never know what might happen. Thank you read more

God is truly using this ministry and it's leaders to do the will of God. If you're looking for a place to worship without all the drama of old school church, fellowship is the place to go. You owe it to your spirit to check it out, Gods word is always consistent with the scriptures and your in/ out in one hour and 15 min. read more

What a great place for families and loved ones to come together and find Hope and Healing in Jesus! It's fun, energetic and full of hugs!!!

I recommend EVERYONE to go to this church! They don't make anyone feel left out. For example today was a service about parenting and they made it relatable for aunties/uncles and people just wanting to make the community a better place! Love pastor shaun he always has great welcoming energy. I have left here in tears because of how beautiful and touching his words are multiple times. And they also have a free daycare while attending a service. Anyone who works with kids is background checked and no one is aloud in the area without badges! I can't say enough good things about this church. Hands down the best Church I've been to. read more

I attended the service on Mother's Day at 12:45 pm...finally with my mom and family. It was my Moms and siblings first time, but when we got inside we were surprised it was a video service and not a Live one. It was a big disappointment. I was thinking since it's Mothers Day, for sure all services will be Live. But it was a video of the earlier service instead. Then when we picked up my niece and nephew, I asked what did they learn? They went to the kindergarten and 4yr old classes... they said they just played. No bible lessons. And for the 1st to 5th grade, they were shown a video. What's the point of taking them to Sunday school if it will just be like a day care for them? But leaders keep encouraging us to invite people, bring people in, worship God and be present. But the lead pastors themselves are not even present? Or the Sunday school teachers are just there to facilitate the kids for registration but not really teaching kids anything and depend solely on videos. I wish they can change it coz at first I really felt like I found the church for me and my family. I like how Bay Church in Concord do their Sunday school esp for K to 5th graders. There's always someone live in person doing the teaching for the kids and they have a series as well. But it's just too far from us now. read more

This church claims to embrace all their members, but this is not the case. Especially true for LGBTQ+ people who search for a safe space. To all looking for a place that will accept you as you are, THIS IS NOT THE CHURCH. If they'd just be up front and open about not wanting gay members serving, which is their whole thing, to get closer to God and for tour life to change, you have to volunteer with the church, that'd be different. Look past the facade of "we love all" here. read more

Hi :) I am 26 years old from Pittsburg. Fellowship is my home now. I've been attending for over 2 years now and it has directly influenced every area of my life. If you are looking to commit your life to pleasing the Lord, Fellowship provides a few easy steps. It will change your life, no doubt. read more

I found out that this church isn't as accepting as they say they are. Not being accepting of the LGBTQ+ community is not loving your neighbor, and it is not very Godly. I was so excited to share the wonderful experiences I have had here with my Trans best friend, hoping that they could find a way to be accepted and loved in a way their family couldn't do for them. But to know that they would exclude lesbian women from small groups and dream team due to their sexuality is absolutely heartbreaking. If you're apart of the LGBTQ+ community and hope for inclusion here, I'd consider finding another church. This is extremely disappointing and I hope it's something they work on going forward. God save the souls of the people making these choices and I pray they see the error of their ways. read more

By far the most life changing church I have ever been too. I've grown up in the church my whole life and I've never experienced anything like this one from day one 2 1/2 years ago. I found freedom through this church. read more

Zero stars My family and I began watching this church when the pandemic began. My eldest daughter bought the pastors book, " Dont Quit in the Dip" she started to read it and was all excited to go to the book signing to get it signed by Shaun Nepstad. Big disappointment Shaun Nepstad was not nice. My daughter is a very outgoing gracious person, my daughter is very friendly. She tried to talk to him about how she appreciated his sermons online during quarantine and his attitude was like he could care less and was like "next". I was with my daughter and witnessed the whole thing. Shaun Nepstad was neither humble nor grateful that my daughter purchased his book or showed any interest in her appreciation of how the church online helped her and our family during this difficult time. We were taken back and so disappointed. The book has been in her trunk ever since. This church is all fluff and zero substance. We will not be watching another sermon online or ever attending this church, ever. read more

The minute you walk into this church you could feel the love of God. People here are so friendly and welcoming. Love their worship because you feel the presence of God in this church . The Pastor was real genuine and had a lot of humor with his sermons which was cool. read more

I just attended church today with my husband and mother, we are 40 years old and my mom is 61. This is a great family oriented church and they have ministry for kids to adults. Its inviting and also very annointed and Pastor Shaun always breaks down his preachings where if you've been saved for a long time you'll get a blessed Word or if your a newcomer you will definitely understand everything and feel blessed as you leave! So I recommend this church to everybody, all ages, races, single or married! Go and Be Blessed! read more

This is probably the best church I've ever been! This place has not only help find my relationship with Jesus but to also practice my spiritual gifts to make an eternal difference. The leadership is focus on making an impact in the city and to the nation through the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Come as you are and see how God will transform your life! read more

My family and I attended this church for my first time and did not like it we got kicked out of service because my 1 year old made a couple of squeaks they made my family and I feel embarrassed and humiliated at the way they escorted us out. They said they were recording and that they didn't want baby sounds but my daughter only made a couple squeaks unbelievable. So that's why I give them zero stars! / People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples review them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, " let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the little children in his arms, placed his hands on them and bless them. -Mark 10:13-16- read more

I love everything about my church! It's warm and welcoming, great worship and always an incredible word. My kids love their classes!

I personally can't understand the overwhelmingly glowing reviews of this church. I went here for only a few months and that was plenty. Pastor Shaun has a way of turning every sermon into an advertisement for the church. I also can't get over how caught up he is in his finances -- someone might want to remind him that his bank account won't follow him to Heaven. After his sermons he just runs off the platform and disappears. So there you have it. A God-preaching, money-worshiping, non-personable pastor who SOMEHOW still manages to draw a crowd. Read: feel-good church. read more

Having relocated to Antioch CA. in 2012, as a family we knew it would be difficult to commute to the church we were attending so we started searching for a local church that we could attend, a church that our young daughters (ages 9 and 5) would enjoy, a church that was serving the community, a diverse church, a church to build relationships at, a church that felt like family. We didn't search long (Fellowship Church was the only church we visited), after the first service we attended we knew this was the Church for us. read more
