Why would a church want to affiliate to FIEC?

There are many benefits in linking your church to FIEC – gaining a national voice, ministry support, shared resources and more – but we’d rather you join us because you share our convictions and want to invest in our vision. As a Fellowship we have a heart to help independent local churches thrive so that we might see the gospel of Jesus making a difference throughout our nation. Is that what your church has a heart for too?

If you’re contemplating church affiliation then you should definitely begin by reading About Us and our Beliefs. You should also take a look at What we do on the top menu. If you still want to know more about FIEC then you can Contact us with your questions or request a visit from an FIEC representative.

Churches that want to apply for affiliation need to Contact us and ask for an Affiliation Pack. The pack simply contains a clear guide to the affiliation process and an application form.
