Fellowship Bible Church is a growing non-denominational church located in Searcy, Arkansas. The church is led by Lead Pastor Ben Pukas, who stepped into the lead pastor position over a year ago and has helped guide the church into renewed health and momentum. Fellowship currently sees around 650–700 people on Sunday mornings in a single service that offers a modern style of worship. Beyond Sunday mornings, the church is built around its network of community groups, which are central to discipleship and outreach.

Fellowship serves a distinctive community in Searcy, home to Harding University and a city experiencing significant growth. This creates a ministry environment that is both multi-generational and highly transient, with students, young families, and long-time residents all worshiping together. The church has the opportunity to reach people from diverse denominational backgrounds, including many who come from non-instrumental Church of Christ churches, which shapes both expectations and engagement in worship. Searcy itself carries a strong small-town relational culture, meaning that authenticity, community, and consistency are highly valued, while excellence in programming and leadership is increasingly important as the church grows and attracts new families.
