About Fellowship Bible Church

Our Mission

|

To glorify God by making Disciples of Jesus Christ.

At Fellowship Bible Church in Victoria, Texas, our mission is simple yet powerful — to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ. This calling shapes everything we do as a church family. A disciple is more than someone who simply identifies with Christianity in name; a disciple is a true follower of Christ in every area of life, seeking to think, speak, and act in ways that reflect His love and truth.

We believe discipleship is a lifelong journey of growing closer to Jesus, allowing His Word to guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and influence how we serve others. As followers of Christ, we witness to the hope found in Him, encourage one another in faith, and actively do good works in His name.

Jesus is alive and at work today, and we are humbled and grateful to join Him in the work He is doing here in Victoria, throughout Texas, and around the world. Through biblical preaching, faithful teaching, and genuine fellowship, we share God’s Word and love one another because He first loved us.

Our History

A Story of God’s Call to His Word

Fellowship Bible Church has a history rooted in God’s faithfulness and a passion for His Word. In 1965, God brought together a group of believers with a shared vision — to exalt Jesus Christ through the preaching and teaching of Scripture. What began as a small, devoted community of faith has grown into a vibrant church family committed to staying true to that original calling.

Over the decades, the Lord has graciously provided everything we have needed to continue this ministry. He has blessed us with faithful pastors and leaders, buildings that serve as places of worship and ministry, financial resources to sustain and expand our work, and most importantly, the Body of Christ — men, women, and children who love Him and carry out His mission in our community, our city, and beyond.

From the earliest days until now, we have sought to remain steadfast in teaching God’s truth, loving one another, and reaching out with the Gospel. It is our privilege to continue this legacy, trusting that the same God who has been faithful in the past will guide us into the future.
