Gardens Campus
Christ Fellowship began as an in-home Bible study in 1984 in the
Palm Beach Gardens area.
After many years of meeting in a home and then in a schoolhouse, they opened the Gardens South Campus in November 1992 on Northlake Boulevard.
In the spring of 2000 the Gardens North Campus was opened just across the street in order to serve the needs of a growing congregation.
Over 8,000 people now attend service each weekend, making it the largest campus.
Gardens Campus has over 114,000 square feet of facilities on over 51 acres of land.
This includes five major buildings across the Gardens North and Gardens South Campus areas, plus the Special Needs horse therapy center on Howell Lane, which is adjacent to 20 acres of undeveloped land.
Palm Beach Gardens City counsel recently approved a vote 4-1 to expand into this area.<ref>http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/palmbeach/editorial/entries/2005/10/christ_fellowsh.html</ref>
Royal Palm Beach Campus
The
Royal Palm Beach Campus of Christ Fellowship first met in August of 2004.
Early meetings were held in Polo Park Middle School on Lake Worth Road in Wellington.
At this time the Campus was referred to as "Christ Fellowship Wellington".
Christ Fellowship was able to acquire a vacant, free-standing Target shopping center at the corner of SR 441 and Southern Blvd in Royal Palm Beach at the end of 2005.
Royal Palm Campus which opened the weekend of October 28-29, 2006 is a 115,000 square foot campus that serves those local to the Western Communities.
The ministry directors local to the campus are Dr. Doug Randlett, Pator Brian Benjamin and James Duvall.
Royal Palm is considered a video campus with live music, child care and bookstore - but all teaching takes place from the ministry headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens.
The Ascent (CityPlace)
The Ascent, a college and young adult church extension of Christ Fellowship, meets at the Harriet Hillman Theater in Downtown
West Palm Beach.
Unlike the Royal Palm Campus only one service is taught via video on Sunday mornings.
Relevant teachings for the congregation of predominantly twenty-somethings are delivered during 2 of the 3 Sunday services.
Campus ministry is overseen by Pastor Andrew Oates.
Music is live at all services and is led by Jay Boykin.
