Encouraging Writers For 27 Years!
Fellowship of Christian Writers started with a handful of
writers in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area in 1981.
 Originally
called Tulsa Christian Writers Club, we changed our name to
Fellowship of Christian Writers (FCW) in 1999 to reflect our
growing influence outside of this geographic region. Thanks to
the Internet and our Yahoo chat group, FCW has touched hundreds
of writers—and probably thousands of readers because of those
writers’ words.
Our goal is to equip and encourage writers to follow their
God-given dreams of setting words to paper. Whether writing for
the religious or secular market; writing articles or novels; or
writing news, features, devotionals, poetry, scripts, and
essays—-writers have a special calling to deliver well-crafted
words to their readers.
Over the years, we have had several satellite groups around the
nation and welcome the opportunity to expand our mission to
writers around the globe. With nearly 60 local and at-large
members and close to 800 writers involved in our Yahoo group, we
are following God’s call to help writers use their God-given
talents.
FCW members represent Christian denominations from Baptist to
Pentecostal, Presbyterian to Anglican, Charismatic to Methodist
to everything in between. Our youngest members are teenagers and
our oldest are octogenarians. We have men and women who work,
who raise families, who are retired. Some have not yet been
published; others have a wide portfolio of writing credentials.
Some write for Christian publications; some write in the secular
arena.
No matter who we are or what we do, if Jesus lives in our
hearts and is Lord of our lives, we introduce Him into every
encounter, every word, and every project. Whether 14, 49, or 94,
FCW members write words that touch this world for good and to
the glory of God.
The Lord announced the word, and great was
the company
of those who proclaimed it. Psalm 68:11 (NIV)
Men and
women, sharing a love for Jesus and talents for verbal
expression, joining together for encouragement, education and
fellowship.
The
purpose of Fellowship of Christian Writers is to provide
mentoring and instruction; share skills; offer kindly criticism;
supply information on markets, contests, conferences and other
areas of interest to Christians who write; share prayer needs;
and to be inspired and encouraged by fellow writers. Our desire
is that our written words always reflect Christ and glorify God.
