We place a premium on service at Fellowship. It’s one of the ways people in the FEFC community connect with the work of Christ and the people of Christ.

Volunteer opportunities involve service at FEFC, and also out in the larger community in and around Knoxville.

The purpose of this website is to help you get connected with one or more of these opportunities. Here, you’ll find volunteer job descriptions based on Ministry Departments (see list below or above on the tabs, or for specifics the list to right). You can also use this site to submit an electronic volunteer application form.
