Pastor Dominic and Emily Whitfield have lead FountainGate Fellowship since the fall of 2024.
February of 1992, Founding Pastor Scott Beard and family arrived to pastor FountainGate Fellowship. 75-100 committed believers met Pastor Scott as he began his ministry here. Under his and the elder's leadership, the church grew to the point of moving to their second facility on N. 3rd and Mockingbird. Here the church membership grew beyond 400 and two Sunday services were held to accommodate their growth. In May 2005, with a membership well over 500, the church moved into its current facility at 909 N. Willis.
In the fall of 2024, Pastor Scott Beard, stepped into his new role as the Founding Pastor and handed the mantel over to Pastor Dominic as the Senior Pastor of FountainGate.
FountainGate Fellowship is known for being a friend of the Holy Spirit and is a fountainhead of His presence in the community and around the world.
With our passion to see people encounter the Presence of God, be discipled & raised up as Christ-followers. We believe that the Genuine Love of Jesus leads to Radical Change in the life of each person for His Kingdom.

OUR BELIEFS
We believe the Bible to be the Word of God & relevant to our lives today. (2 Timothy 3:16 & 1 Thessalonians 2:13)
We believe you must be born again. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Hosea 9:11, John 3:1-21, Luke 6:46 & 13:25, Matthew 7:13-23 & 16:25 & 1 Peter 1:3-5)
We believe water baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. Those who have been born again by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord should follow in baptism. (Romans 6:1-7, Galatians 3:27, Matthew 3:13-17, 1 Peter 2:21 & Luke 3:21-22)
We believe the Holy Spirit is sent from the Father by the Son, infilling those who ask, and empowering the church to serve in the Kingdom of God. (Ephesians 5:18, Luke 11:13, Matthew 6:28 & Acts 1:8, 2:38-39, 8:15-17 & 10:44-46)
We believe in God’s total healing power, manifested through the prayer of faith, for the body, mind & spirit. (James 5:14-15)
We believe communion is more than a symbol and a simple meal when believers eat and drink. Rather, it is a time when believers examine their hearts and repent of sin as they eat of the bread and drink of wine, partaking of Christ’s flesh and blood. (2 Corinthians 13:5)
We believe a tithe is giving the first tenth of what is earned. Tithing expresses love to the Lord, and it is a reminder that everything we have was given by God. (Deuteronomy 8:18 & 16:17, Malachi 3:8-10, Proverbs 3:9-10, Leviticus 27:30, Matthew 23:23, & Luke 6:38)
