Pastor Matt & Bobbi Morgan

Senior Pastors

Pastor Matt and Bobbi Morgan are the Senior Pastors of Fellowship of Praise Church. Married for over 30 years, they have four children: Moriah (her husband Treg & daughters Audrina and Charleigh, Nathan (his wife Emily and daughter Gia, Madison, and Chloe. They currently reside in the Waynesvelle area. Matt and Bobbi are alumni of Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee and have been in ministry since 1993.

The Morgans have been the Senior Pastors at Fellowship of Praise Church since the fall of 1997, where their journey began in a small church in Morrow, Ohio. They left their position as Associate Pastors in Wilson, North Carolina, to assist in the planting of Fellowship of Praise along with Bobbi's parents, Paul and Barbara Brothers.

Fellowship of Praise Church started with a handful of faithful members on Pamela Drive, and the church has since witnessed both numerical and spiritual growth. They moved to their current building on State Route 22 & 3 in 2005 and are actively planning a building expansion to better accommodate their growing FOP family.

They desire Fellowship of Praise Church to be a place to REACH the hurting, REPAIR the broken, RESTORE the fallen, and REJOICE in the process. When you visit our campus, you will see our sign at the entrance that states “grace happens here”, and we work hard to make that a reality for all our FOP family members. The ministry of Fellowship of Praise Church has stretched far beyond the state limits of Ohio and into other countries such as Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Pastor Matt's ministry is apostolic in nature, as well as being prophetic and revelatory.

Pastor Matt wrote his first book, Supernatural Power On Earth, in 2018 on the topic of the Holy Spirit. You can purchase the book on Amazon or in our church lobby.

We Believe That...

The Holy Bible, consisting of both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired revelation of God to man. Therefore, the Scriptures are the infallible, authoritative rule for all matters of faith and conduct.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
Justification, regeneration, and the new birth produced through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word and by the Holy Spirit.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
The Holy Spirit baptism, as experienced in the early Christian Church, is promised to all believers in Christ, imparting to them spiritual gifts (charisma), to edify the body of Christ and equip for Christian service. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the new birth and enables the believer to receive a spiritual language (glossolalia) for personal edification and prayer.
The Church of Jesus Christ is the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the great commission. Each believer, having been born of the Spirit, is a valuable part of the body of Christ. We further believe in a called and ordained five-fold ministry for the purpose of the evangelization of the world and the edifying of the Body of Christ.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Divine healing is provided for all in the Atonement.
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the second coming of Christ to receive the church unto himself and rule and reign forever. The return of Jesus Christ is imminent and will precede his reign upon the earth and the final judgments. Afterward there will be a new heaven and new earth.
