About FATE Fellowship
FATE Fellowship is more than a men’s group; we’re a brotherhood in the Tri-Cities, WA, where guys show up, support each other, and live life together. We’re here to help every man find strength, purpose, and the kind of real, no-nonsense faith that fuels us in all areas of life. Whether you’re tackling a tough season or just looking to build solid friendships, this is a place where you’re seen, valued, and challenged to grow.
Our deep down and gritty mission? To give men a safe, welcoming space to connect, dig into truth, and step up as leaders in their families and communities. Through sharing life, meetups, outdoor adventures, and genuine conversations, we build each other up, lean on each other, and share the wisdom life’s taught us so far. Which basically means we are going to encourage some change for the better.
We’re a normal group of guys who are serious about faith, passionate about Jesus, and all-in on living life with purpose. At FATE Fellowship, we believe every man has untapped potential, and we’re here to help you reach it—together. Come check us out, and see what this brotherhood is all about.
