Welcome to the Fulkerson Park website!
Fulkerson Park is a growing community of believers who exist to treasure the glory of Christ in the world. We are located between Niles, Michigan and South Bend, Indiana and serve the greater Michiana area. Our congregation is predominantly young (20s-40s), though we welcome people of all ages. We gather for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and meet together in small groups scattered throughout the Michiana area on weeknights.
Our corporate worship is focused on cherishing the good news of Jesus Christ crucified and risen. We view the gospel not merely as the point of entry into the Christian faith, but as the unifying center to everything we believe and practice. We sing about the gospel in a rich blend of contemporary and historical songs, we recite the gospel in historic Christian creeds, we pray the gospel in intentional and thoughtful corporate prayers, we hear the gospel in teaching that seeks to explain and apply the text of Scripture with a focus on what God has done for us in Jesus, and we show the gospel in baptism and sharing the Lord's Table.
The church is not a building in which we worship, but a people to which we belong. We want to nurture healthy community and minister to men, women, and children of all races, ages, and backgrounds. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, our prayer is that both this online resource and the ministry of our church will be a blessing to your life.
Join us for our current series of messages called "Ruin, Renewal, and the Reign of God.” These messages are part of a journey through 1 and 2 Samuel, the literary and historical accounts of how the people of Israel under God’s guidance came to establish a monarchy, a dynasty of kings to rule them. The two books are built around three central characters: Samuel, Saul, and David.
The elders of Fulkerson Park have put together the following as a guide to praying together now and in the immediate future. Please join us in asking our Father to help us, “as a worshiping community” to “treasure the glory of Christ in the world.”
1. For our congregation, pray . . .
• For spiritual renewal, a deeper hunger for God’s word, a greater love for Jesus, and a higher commitment to the kingdom of God.
• For a genuine love for people, a commitment to sharing the gospel with others, and growth in word-deed ministry in our community.
