About Us
We believe the brokenness we experience in the world is a result of sin, and that Jesus Christ has the power to change our lives forever. The Creator of the universe sent His son to seek and save the lost. We were on a path to death, but in Christ, we are given new life and the promise of Heaven!
We believe because we have seen. We have seen lives change, marriages healed, sickness defeated, families restored, harmful tendencies beaten, and believers empowered by the power of Jesus!
What to Expect
We begin each service singing songs to God. Singing glorifies Him and reminds us of His truths. Our worship is played with a modern sound with songs ranging from well-known hymns to new Gospel-centered songs.
We do our best to cultivate an environment in which you can genuinely express your worship to the Lord, to give your heart a voice to sing. After we sing, one of our pastors teaches God’s word from the Christian Standard Bible. We do not focus on our own opinions or teach pop-psychology, but weekly seek to challenge our church with truths and insights from scripture.
Before the Service
If you are a guest, we would love for you to take advantage of our ‘Guest’ parking spots in the North lot if they are available. Once you arrive inside, be sure to check out our Welcome Desk and Information Wall for church info, upcoming events, service opportunities, and adult discipleship resources. Grab a coffee at the bar!
After the Service
Be sure to fill out a CONNECT Card, found in the seat backs. Then, take it to the Welcome Desk in the foyer where we have a gift for you for being our guest! You can also fill out a CONNECT card online by scanning or tapping the dots on the back of the seats. Gifts are also available for children attending with you!
Children & Preschool
During services, our babies and toddlers are entertained, changed, and prayed for individually, while older children are taught God’s Word through activities, games, crafts, videos, and more! All children are checked in and given parent-child name tags each Sunday to ensure security for your family.
Students
Students gather for Life Groups at 9:00am to hear God’s Word and interact with each other in small group settings, then worship together during the 10:30 service.
Fellowship Groups
9:00am & 10:30am
During each worship hour, we have bible studies called Fellowship Groups for adults throughout the building. Visit the welcome desk so a volunteer can walk you to our classrooms; we have groups for all ages and stages!
We also have groups that meet as families during the week to eat meals, pray for and with one another, and study and apply God’s word together. Visit our Group Life page for more info on connecting with a Family Group as we seek to thrive in community.
Parking
We have two lots on site, North and South. Find our GUEST PARKING on the North side near the entrance. They will be marked!

Our Story
Fellowship West was formed in 2014 when the remnant of Bonner Springs Baptist Church and the core team of a Lenexa Baptist Church plant merged. The aftermath was exciting growth that has propelled the launch of a second service, the hiring of three full-time pastors, a growing student ministry, an exploding children’s ministry, the launch of the Legends Campus in 2019, and countless opportunities to serve and share the Gospel both locally and internationally.
The newest chapter began at the start of 2026, when the remnant of Open Door Baptist Church voted to merge with Fellowship West, reuniting both existing campuses and our new family under one roof in KCK. We are so excited to be all together again, working to share Jesus, disciple believers, and love people in the KC area and beyond!
Our Values
We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to Share Jesus, Disciple Believers, and Love People
Corporate Worship
We gather weekly to praise, sit under biblical teaching, pray, and encourage one another in fellowship toward our mission. Corporate worship is a much needed reminder that we're not alone, and a launching point for everything we do as a church family.
Group Life
The very best expression of our love for Jesus, each other and our friends and neighbors is to live in community with one another. Eating meals, praying for and with one another, and interacting with God’s word on a regular basis leads to transformation in our lives personally and as a church family collectively.
Service
We are God's hands and feet on Earth. He has called us to serve one another as a church, and there are many opportunities to start serving on Sundays and Wednesdays as much as you are available. We also have a responsibility to serve our community through outreach and community events.
Giving
We don’t give because God needs our money. He doesn’t. We give because firstly, God wants our hearts. Understanding that all we have is His and giving a portion to honor Him is a huge step in the life of a believer! Secondly, we give to further evangelism and discipleship and to meet practical needs of others.
Our Beliefs
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
Our beliefs are simple.
We believe as humans, we are broken. We are constantly trying to find something to fix ourselves, to make us happy, to make us complete.
We believe the brokenness is a result of sin, and that Jesus Christ has the power to change our lives forever. The Creator of the universe sent His son to seek and save the lost. We were on a path to death, but in Christ, we are given new life and the promise of Heaven!
We believe because we have seen. We have seen lives change, marriages healed, sickness defeated, families restored, harmful tendencies beaten, and believers empowered by the power of Jesus!
We adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000
The Scriptures
The Bible is divinely inspired by God and is His revelation of Himself to humanity. It is completely true, trustworthy, and without error. Scripture is the ultimate standard for Christian belief, conduct, and unity. All Scripture ultimately points to and testifies about Christ and the faithfulness of God .
God
There is one true, living God who is Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Ruler of everything. He is perfectly holy, all-powerful, and all-knowing. God eternally exists as three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who share one divine nature.
Mankind
People are created in God's image with inherent dignity and worth, but humanity is fallen into sin and needs God's grace and redemption.
Salvation
Salvation is God's gracious work of rescuing sinners through faith in Jesus Christ, involving regeneration, justification, sanctification, and ultimately glorification. Salvation is offered to those who profess and believe in Jesus, not as an act of works or special deeds, but a free gift of God.
God’s Purpose of Grace
God graciously saves and preserves those who belong to Christ, enabling them to persevere in faith despite their ongoing struggle with sin.
The Church
The church is a community of baptized believers under Christ's authority who gather for worship, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and mission.
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
Baptism is the water-immersion of a believer as a symbol of identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. In the NT, people are baptized immediately after trusting in Jesus. The Lord's Supper remembers Christ's sacrifice and anticipates His return.
The Kingdom
God's Kingdom is His current and lasting reign and rule over creation and especially over those who submit to Christ as King. Christians are called to advance His Kingdom while awaiting its ultimate fulfillment.
Last Things
Jesus will return, the dead will be raised, and all people will face judgment in God’s way and God’s time. The redeemed will enjoy eternal life with God in the redeemed New Heaven and New Earth, while the lost will face eternal punishment.
Evangelism and Missions
Every Christian and church is called to make disciples of all nations by proclaiming the gospel and living as a witness to Christ. Christians are a given people, not living for the good of themselves, but others within and without the Church.
The Christian and the Social Order
Christians should pursue righteousness, justice, compassion, and the dignity of human life while opposing evil and seeking to influence society through the gospel.
The Family
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.
The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image.
Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord.
