Fellowship of Christian Writers began with a handful of writers in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area in 1979. We are men and women, sharing a love for Jesus and talents for verbal expression, joining together for encouragement, education, and fellowship. Our goal is to equip and encourage writers to follow their God-given dreams of putting words to paper. Whether writing for the religious or secular market, writing articles or novels, or writing news, features, devotionals, poetry, scripts, and essays, writers have a special calling to deliver well-crafted words to their readers. Our purpose is to provide mentoring and instruction; share skills; offer kindly criticism; supply information on markets, contests, and conferences; share prayer needs, and be inspired and encouraged by fellow writers. Our desire is that our written words always reflect Christ and glorify God.

“The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it.”

Psalm 68:11 

Coming up:
September Meeting

Lindi Collins | Braving the Unknown in All Things Creative

Come join us at our September meeting for what’s sure to be an inspiring and enlightening presentation by Lindi Collins, a local writer, speaker, and owner of The Bridal Garden, a wedding floral design company. Lindi says, “Creativity invites us into a space of the unknown. Sometimes that’s just plain scary. Staring at a blank piece of paper and wondering how to fill it can be a daunting task. However, you are called to live a big life and a big story. I believe that delving into the space of creativity, whether it is writing a book or applying paint to a canvas, requires you to harness your creativity to work for you. Through heartwarming stories and tales of truth, I will encourage you to help your heart come alive and ignite the creativity you need to pursue your writing with passion.”

Lindi built what became a multiple six-figure wedding floral design company, known as The Bridal Garden, from scratch. Over time, her (initially) small dreams grew and evolved into a burgeoning business meeting the needs of more than a thousand brides—and counting. Leaving blooms in her wake, Lindi has a passion for creating, whether painting the world with flowers—which you can learn more about at bridalgardenfloraldesign.com—or while cooking, designing, or writing for her blog at mymayberrylane.com. Along the way, Lindi self-published a bookazine, My Mayberry Lane. She has also written for Splendeur Magazine. Lindi’s passion in life is cultivating her creativity and helping others to do the same. She desires to speak into the lives of those she encounters and help them realize their calling and full creative potential. Lindi loves spending time with her family when she isn’t chasing her next creative endeavor
