Christian fellowship
Believers gathering together
Christian fellowship is the communal bond among believers, encompassing shared worship, mutual support, and spiritual companionship within a church or religious community.
The term emphasizes relationship over institution—gathering not just for services but for genuine connection: We have fellowship every Wednesday evening.
Fellowship implies accountability, encouragement, and shared meals as much as shared doctrine.
