History

Christ Fellowship started in 1984 as a small Bible study with 40 people in Dr. Tom and Donna Mullins'[6] living room and has grown to be one of the largest churches in America.[7]

Led by Pastor Todd and Julie Mullins, Christ Fellowship is based in Palm Beach, Florida. Todd serves on the Lead Team of The Association of Related Churches (ARC), as well as the Board of Directors for Place of Hope Children’s Home in South Florida. Together with his wife, Julie, they founded Hope for Freedom, a ministry to raise awareness and fight human trafficking – reaching over 10,000 students in Palm Beach County.

Christ Fellowship's Teaching Pastor is Dr. John C. Maxwell, an internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author who has sold more than 19 million books. Dr. Maxwell is the founder of EQUIP, a non-profit organization that has trained more than 5 million leaders in 126 countries worldwide. A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Business Week best-selling author, Maxwell has written three books that have sold more than a million copies: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Developing the Leader Within You, and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.[8]
