Fellowship Church of Dubai
We are an evangelical, non-denominational church that began 20 years ago with 30 people meeting in a villa. By God’s grace, we now gather each week as a church of over 5,000 followers of Jesus attending 10 services in two hotels on opposite ends of Dubai. Our purpose is to reach the unreached and disciple them to become followers of Jesus. People from 120+ nations attend Fellowship. Our purpose is to be a church for people who think they don’t like church, helping them come to know a God they think they don’t need, sharing the message of Jesus, training and equipping them, and sending them back to their home countries to carry the gospel message. God is constantly sending us new people who need to hear the Good News about Jesus. Please, help us to reach them.

Outreach to Laborers
The amazing skyscrapers and other buildings in Dubai are the work of hundreds of thousands of migrant laborers recruited to Dubai from many countries, particularly from South Asia and Africa. The UAE construction industry employs a workforce in the UAE of 1.2 million construction workers, most of them in Dubai. These men and women live in camps, in dormitories, around the edge of Dubai. They work long hours, 6 days a week. Since its beginning, Fellowship has had a desire to care for them. Part of our international church staff is dedicated to regularly visiting the camps to share God’s love, provide recreation (cricket), additional food, holiday celebrations, and other expressions of compassion. Please pray for these often-forgotten men and women and help us as we reach out to them.

Apprenticeships
An essential part Fellowship’s ministry is encouraging young men and women to prepare to serve the global church full or part-time. With over 120 nationalities as part of our church family, an apprenticeship with Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to learn from and experience cross-cultural ministry in an English-speaking context. The Fellowship Apprentice Program’s vision is to “develop leaders for King Jesus from the world to the world.” This 1-to-3-year program seeks to:
-
Equip Leaders to be multipliers
-
Give a unique cross-cultural experience
-
Train them in hands-on ministry
-
Offer theological training (Gulf Seminary classes)
-
Be part of a multi-cultural team
-
Train for work in the international church
-
Different tracks and emphases
-
Short-term volunteering available (1-3 months)
Fellowship desires to offer scholarships to men and women from underfunded places. Some can afford to come or raise the funds necessary. Many more can’t. Fellowship will bear a large part of the cost for those who need help. But, to make it possible for more to come, we need your help. Please consider providing a scholarship to the Fellowship Apprentice Program.
Wordly AI Translation App
Fellowship Dubai serves over 6,000 people each Sunday in 8 services in 2 hotels. Worshipers come from over 120 nations. This presents a great challenge. How do you communicate the gospel and explain the Bible in a language they can understand? To meet this need, Fellowship Dubai uses Wordly, an AI-powered real-time translation service that offers instantaneous translation into 70+ languages. Attenders scan a QR code on their phones to access both written text and audio translation, complete with the native speaker’s accents. Currently, Fellowship can only afford to offer this on a limited basis in 2 of their services. Please consider partnering with them financially to help make Wordly AI available in all Fellowship services and in their large Christmas and Easter outreaches.
GO Team
GO Ministry exists to reach, equip, and mobilize disciples who love Jesus and people here, near, and far away. Through prayer, discipleship groups and training, and purpose trips, we provide access to the gospel and empower believers to multiply. Our outreach extends to Dubai’s 1.2 million migrant laborers…and beyond, bringing God’s love through visits, recreation, food, and compassion…while our GO Team engages in sharing God’s message with programs, and service projects. Every effort is driven by one goal: to see disciples made and multiplied so that Jesus is known to the ends of the earth (Acts 13:47).
