 Join us this Sunday afternoon as we gather for our Fall Gathering! We will enjoy food, fellowship, and a great time together as a family of faith. We will also welcome our new families by introducing them and sharing a bit about them.  

I look forward to all that God will do this Sunday during this beautiful time of the year.  

Blessings, 

Pastor Dewayne

We’re excited to share that our church is currently seeking an Associate Pastor to join our ministry team! If you or someone you know may be interested in this opportunity, please click the link above for additional details about the position. The job opening and job description are posted on the church website as well.  Applications should be sent to search@fbcfairview.org.

It's that time of year again...Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box pick-up! Pick-Up your preferred box type, plastic in Sanctuary and cardboard in the welcome area and Entryway. Fill the box with 50% toys, 25% hygiene items and 25% school supplies. Add a note or family picture if you want to personalize it. Pray over the box for the child that will receive it. That they would have the eyes to see Jesus, the ears to hear his truth and a heart to accept him as Lord and savior. These shoe boxes help Church partners in the country reach areas they could not go to if it wasn't for these boxes. Each child that receives one of these boxes will hear the truth about Jesus in their own language and receive biblical materials in their language.

So fill your box/boxes with love and Return it on November 15th.

Weekly Christian Men's Prayer Breakfast

The FBC Weekly Men’s Prayer Breakfast meets on Thursday mornings at 6:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall. If you are a man, come - if you know a man, send him! Come and enjoy this Men & Boys Fellowship Breakfast and Bible study. 

The Bible is full of practical instruction that can be helpful as men try to navigate the stresses and complexities of this modern world. Our Christian Men’s Breakfast is a weekly meeting where men meet to fellowship, enjoy a light meal and listen to a short teaching based on Scripture. The purpose is to learn how Biblical principles can be applied to daily living.  

This is a time for men and boys to share Christian values through life experiences. We have a great cook - Mr. Bill Mayo, and a core of mature Christian men who are dedicated to Christ and to helping others! Each attendee can leave the meeting when they need to leave and with a new insight into a particular Biblical principle with ways to apply that knowledge to their daily lives. Please Come – and bring a friend.
