Who we are
-
Q: What is the Christian Furry Fellowship?
A: We are a group of Christian furries (and fans) who have assembled together to worship God and encourage one another.
-
Q: So what's a furry?
A: A furry is defined as any creature having both human and animal characteristics. In most of our cases, the phenomenon is psychological. Our brains just seem to work a little differently from those of normal humans. As far as a physical furry, think of Bugs Bunny.
-
Q: So why did you form the CFF?
A: Many people, some Christians, don't understand what furries are. They're convinced that we're crazies or sexual deviants or satan worshipers. At the very least, this makes it hard to open up, and disrespect and abuse from Christians who don't understand them has turned many furries off to Christ. This fellowship is a place where we can be ourselves and encourage one another in genuine love, and when apart, demonstrate the true love of God as we bring the gospel to unsaved furs.
-
Q: Do I have to be a furry to attend?
A: Not at all! We accept all species, here.
-
Q: What denomination are you guys?
A: Our denomination is called "Fishers of Men". We focus of reaching the world for God by using love, respect and reason. The denomination is very small, and relatively new. We are baptistic in origin, doctrine and practices, though members of all denominations are welcome to worship with us, and our congregation includes quite a few protestants.
-
Q: So are you a church?
A: In the sense that we are a body of believers. However, we do not intend to take the place of the local church. We ask that our attendees also attend and support their own home churches.
-
Q: Do you really have a monastic order, like in the comics?
A: No. Well, sort of. We do have a few nazarites among our numbers. No full monks or nuns, though.
-
Q: Do you guys support missionaries?
A: Yes, we do. We support one missionary family in China and we also fund an annual clothing drive / missions trip to the Lakota reservation.
-
Q: Do you take an offering?
A: We accept whatever is sent to us and put it toward missions and aid for the poor. We ask, though, that folks tithe to their own church before sending their money to us. If you wish to support this ministry, you can send a check or money order to

-
Q: Who's in charge?
A: That would be Pastor Oren Otter. Oren is a licensed and ordained baptist minister who is currently studying under his father, Pastor Lee Vary. There are also two deacons, including Draco Dei (whose name means "dragon of God") and Ann Vole. Also on our board of elders is our music director, AshenFox. You can find our contact information on the main page for St. Fred's.
-
Q: Is the pastor paid?
A: Not through this church. In order to maximize funds to missions and the needy, Pastor Oren relies on support from his comics and his local church.
-
Q: Is St. Fred's an actual building?
A: No, but it is an actual website.
-
Q: I heard this place referred to as "St. Fred's Internet Church". Is that the same as the Christian Furry Fellowship?
A: For the moment, yes. The name you mentioned exists so that should another fellowship move in some day, we can exist as a single body while maintaining our distinctive ministries.
-
Q: Who is St. Fred?
A: Reverend Fred Rogers, a saint well known for his ability to teach children. Most of us grew up on his teachings. You may have seen him on PBS. He was the host of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
-
Q: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
A: As many as God wants to put there.
