08 Sep UB Church in Vancouver, Wash., Withdraws
Felida Christian Fellowship, a UB church in Vancouver, Wash., has withdrawn from the denomination. On August 4, the congregation voted to join, and integrate its assets with, Summit View Church, a megachurch located 17 miles away.
Summit had been planning to launch a new campus on the west side of town. For that, they will now use the former UB building, which will be known as Summit View: Felida. Services are being held there at 10 am on Sundays.
Ian McIntosh, pastor of Felida Christian Fellowship, will become a part-time staffperson at Summit View.
The church began in 1976 as a mission church under the sponsorship of the denominational Board of Church Extension. It was named Guiding Light, and Ron Mulles was the founding pastor. For three years, the congregation met in a local Grange Hall, growing to about 65 people. A 3.9 acre piece of land was purchased, and in 1979, ground was broken for a building.
The name was later changed to Friendship Community Church, and then to Felida Christian Fellowship.

Posted at 21:30h, 04 FebruaryAre you the same Ron Mulles, who preached at our Lagro Presbyterian church a few years ago.?I am still teaching Sunday School and remember, Carrie and your son, and your wife, Kathy. Our church is now Community Church and only has around 16 to 20 members that come as the older ones have passed away and not gaining any new ones. Barb Marshall
