Our Story
Christ Fellowship is a United Methodist Christian faith community on the west side of San Antonio, TX.
This church body was founded in 2013 as a church plant from University Methodist on De Zavala.
Many of our long-tenured members fondly remember the 'Braun Hall days' of meeting for services in a dancehall in northwest San Antonio, and hosting youth group in a parked bus!
Groundbreaking for the Shaenfield building occurred in 2017, during which the church met across the street at Ward Elementary School.
Since moving into the current church building in 2018, many members and visitors have enjoyed worshipping with us in the heart of the rapidly-expanding west side of San Antonio. In 2022 the CF Kids Preschool opened with a purpose to bless and nurture families with small children in our community.
Over the years we've been blessed with the leadership of our senior pastors: Adam Knight, Wade Powell, Ruben Saenz III, and Kevin Portwood.
We are a church with a young history. We are still writing our story and the future is bright! We love to connect with all people of all places and backgrounds. As the church, we believe that God is working in the hearts and lives of people in the name of Jesus Christ. We are a Christ-Centered, Spirit led, inviting and evangelical church striving to proclaim the good news for the transformation of the world.
There is a place for you here.
All are Welcome!

What We Believe
The Primacy of Grace
Grace, simply defined, is God’s gift-giving nature – the powerful, undeserved, loving activity of God in human existence.
The Centrality of Jesus
God’s initiative of love is uniquely and ultimately expressed in Jesus Christ. Jesus is literally “grace personified”.
The Necessity of Conversion
If Jesus is God’s ultimate gift of grace, then conversion is consciously saying “yes” to the Gift and “thanks” to the Giver.
The Goal of Maturity
The goal of the Christian life is to look to Jesus for guidance and look like Jesus in lifestyle; what methodists call holiness of heart and life.
The Priority of Ministry
Ministry is meeting the needs of people with the power of Christ.
The Guidance of Scripture
United Methodist Christians hold the Bible as God’s inspired and essential witness to God’s redeeming work toward God’s creation.
The Role of the Church
The Bible describes the church as “the body of Christ;” that is, the visible and communal expression of Jesus in the world.
Concern for Society
Jesus is God’s indispensable gift not only to individuals but to all levels and expressions of human community. Marriages, families, neighborhoods, corporations, cities, states, governments and nations, and the whole earth need Jesus as much as any individual does.
The Importance of Multiplication
The church of Jesus Christ is meant to be a movement and we believe that in order to be a movement we must multiply. We are committed to multiplying our impact through church planting and multiplication.
