OUR STORY

HOW IT ALL STARTED...

By Faith...

After serving the Lord in Michigan, Pastor Bill Bagley brought his family across the country to move to Utah for the purpose of planting a Bible-teaching, Gospel-believing Church in the heart of Utah County. Back in 1988, the number of evangelical churches was quite minimal (by God’s grace, the number has increased), and the thought of planting a Church in this unique culture seemed daunting.

By faith, in the summer of 1988, Fellowship Bible Church was officially launched and began Bible studies at the Kiwanis Club in Pleasant Grove. A few years later, land became available in Lindon and much prayer went into whether to pursue this land as the future home of Fellowship Bible Church. God made it abundantly clear to the Bagley’s that 375 N. State St. in Lindon was where God wanted them to build a Church. God was faithful to provide the land and the building and the Church began worshipping in what is now our Fellowship Hall.

God was faithful to provide the land and the building and the Church began worshipping in what is now our Fellowship Hall.
From the very beginning the desire was to proclaim the name of  Jesus, teach the Bible in a way that people could understand, and have a ministry focused on helping each person grow in their walk with God. That tiny seed of faith in the very beginning has grown into a fruitful, growing, life-changing church where many have experienced the grace of God in fresh ways.

Though the church has grown and the dreams are big, the focus is intentionally small – impacting people with the life-changing grace of Jesus one life at a time. July of 2018 marked 30 years of Fellowship Bible Church, but the story has only just begun to unfold.

As the Church grew in number, and space was becoming quite an issue, much prayer went into God providing a larger building to be able to continue to make an impact in this valley. Well, long story short, God went above and beyond all we could ask, think, or imagine and provided our current building, which was built in 2013.

A guiding principle throughout the years has been that the Church wouldn’t operate like a business, but would continually stress the importance of faith, trusting in God to bless and provide for our ministry. God has been faithful to us as a Church. God provided through the generosity of the Body of Christ across the world.

Since moving into our new home, the Church has gone through many difficult transitions, but the sustaining faithfulness and grace of God has been on display. Throughout its years of operation, Fellowship Bible Church has had four Senior Pastors (Bill Bagley, Bill Bagley Jr., Mike Tharp, and Chad Johnson). The past 30+ years has brought many people through the doors of FBC. Many have grown spiritually and moved to different parts of the world, while others have been sent out by the Church as missionaries across the world. We  have seen many lives changed as they come to know Jesus, grow spiritually, serve faithfully, give generously, and love selflessly at Fellowship Bible Church.

EXPANDING THE VISION...

Over  the last serveral years, we have grown in attendance, brand new ministries have been launched, and overall excitement about the future of FBC is very high. Through all the highs and lows, our worship has not ceased, the Bible has been faithfully proclaimed, new leadership has been raised up and appointed, and lives have been changed by the Gospel.

Our prayer continues to be that He would use us greatly as a church that glorifies Him in  producing more and more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. May we never rely on ourselves, but always remember to do everything “by faith”.

WHERE WE ARE HEADED...

One of our guiding core values is that we will always be driven by the mindset that the best is yet to come. God has been and will continue to be faithful as He works in and through the ministry of Fellowship Bible Church.

The authority of the written Word of God – the Bible – and the victory of the Living Word of God – the Lord Jesus Christ – have been the foundation of this local church from its beginning. As we continue, we will never deviate from our commitment to the Word of God  and the Lord Jesus as the ultimate authority for our identity and mission .

At Fellowship Bible Church, you can expect us to open our Bibles to learn of the God who saved us and calls us deeper into relationship with Him, to experience the love of the Father and share that love with others. While we will  not do it perfectly, this  is and will always remain the heart of who we are, what we're about, and what we do. At Fellowship Bible Church, we'd love for you to find a place to be a part of the gathering of believers and connect in life-giving relationships.
