Fellowship Church of Sidney

The following is an excerpt from the State of Montana press release about FBC and the Ready Montana Award:

The Fellowship Baptist Church, in Sidney, is a 2012 recipient of a ReadyMontana Award for their commitment to providing for the needs of the new influx of people to the Sidney community.

The Fellowship Baptist Church responded to the Bakken oil boom in Sidney by opening their doors to address the needs of the new population. As a member of the Montana Southern Baptist Convention, the church secured their disaster relief shower trailer and provided over 1,300 showers in the 4 months the trailer was set up this summer. This winter the church has been a warming station for those living in sub-optimal housing. The Fellowship Baptist Church also runs a food pantry that provides food and supplies such as towels, toiletries, blankets and clothing to those in need. Pastor Jordan Hall credits the generous support of their 120 members and volunteers like Brad Moore who are dedicated to helping new neighbors in need.

Stephanie Lachapelle, AmeriCorps VISTA with the Richland County, writes, “Recognizing the new and vast needs of the Richland County community, Pastor Jordan Hall and the members of the Fellowship Baptist Church took action… The church works tirelessly to provide sustainable resources for Richland County residents in need during the time of crisis, and has had a significant impact on the lives of many new residents.”

The Fellowship Baptist Church is Dedicated, Altruistic, and Determined!
