Fellowship

Fellowship refers to individual Christians who are in communion with each other. Today the word fellowship is often used to designate a group, either run by a denomination or is interdenominational, aimed at fostering a sense of fellowship among Christians of a particular demographic.

Some denominations and synods withhold fellowship with other Christian groups that they have doctrinal differences with, even within their own denomination.

Some denominations and synods recognize different levels of fellowship. For example, altar fellowship refers to the sharing of the Lord's Supper, while pulpit fellowship refers to the sharing of pastors.
