Assessment
Fellowship EPC in South Lyon, Michigan began in 1979 as a church plant and joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination in 1981 — making it effectively a founding-era EPC congregation. Senior Pastor Alan Conrow, who took the role in 2018, holds an impressive theological pedigree: B.A. from Biola University plus M.A.s from both Talbot School of Theology (philosophy of religion) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (theology). That dual-seminary background suggests rigorous, thoughtful preaching. Kids Ministry Director Jackie Bullard joined in May 2025. Standard EPC caveat on women-elder policy applies. A solid green-eligible confessional Reformed option in the Detroit metro.
