Pastor Timothy Pigg dreamed of planting a church with one simple goal: to know Christ and to make Him known. The vision behind Fellowship Church was to develop a church that would have authentic fellowship with God and each other through His Word, disciple-making, and evangelism. With the help of First Baptist Church Immokalee and the Florida Baptist Convention, that vision became a reality as a group of people gathered in a Martial Arts Fitness Academy in February of 2017. Fellowship Church is a campus of First Baptist Immokalee, which has a rich history dating back to 1917.
