Outcast Fellowship is a church that was started in November 2008, sponsored by the IPHC denomination. Whatever brought you to our site we want you to know this: we love you. We are here to show you that "church as usual" doesn't have to be. We are different than "traditional" churches, VERY different actually. We aren't BETTER, just different. If you need or want "different", we might be a good place for you. But honestly, if you prefer a "traditional" church (and there is nothing wrong with that!) you probably won't like our service. We would love to have you visit anyway!
There are answers. There is more to life than what you are experiencing right now. Even if you haven't been to church in years or have NEVER been, please come visit us. You will be welcome. You will see, there are answers.
We believe three things - there is a God, God loves YOU and your life has a purpose! Come visit us and see.

Our Story
The name Outcast Fellowship is an interesting one, we know. It came from a heart to reach those who have either been rejected/ hurt by "the church" or who have never attended church because they feel like they just don't fit in. The name isn't intended to be AGAINST anything, it is ABOUT something. It is about including everyone, regardless of age, race, upbringing, experience, etc. We like to say "Everyone is an outcast at Outcast Fellowship and no one is an outcast at Outcast Fellowship"!
Our desire is to create an atmosphere of complete acceptance to anyone that wants to join us. We strive to make everyone welcome and to accept you just like you are, "warts and all". We realize that we all have our "issues", our Pastor frequently says "We are all screwed up to the core, just in different ways"! We realize that none of us have it all figured out. We don't have all the answers, we don't even know all of the questions. However, we know where to find the answers!
Outcast Fellowship is a church that values relationship, community and the Word of God. We are doing our best to build a family that reaches out to those in need and helps each other figure things out. We have big dreams and big vision. We need help! Come visit us. We need you!
