A
Warm Welcome to Fairview Church!
Fairview Church is a faith community of Visitors,
Regular Attenders, and Participating Members. Wherever you are on this
journey, you are welcome here to attend, to explore, to ask tough questions,
to study, and to worship.
We enthusiastically expect the church to change
and be different because of each new member who joins. We expect each
other to grow intellectually, emotionally, theologically, spiritually
- in a variety of ways, according to the individual's personality and
gifts. We expect members to learn to relate their faith to their daily
life - to what they do Monday through Saturday at home, at school, at
work.
The exciting meaning of membership at Fairview
is that we enter a lifetime journey of discipleship. The first step on
this life journey is coming to know Christ and trusting Christ as your
Lord and Savior. What follows is joining the church and continuing growth.
But spiritual maturity is not an end in itself; it is for the purpose
of glorifying God through worship and ministry to others.
At Fairview, we expect a person to join the church
because they love Jesus Christ and want to belong to a significant community
of faith where they are accepted and valued, and where they are expected
to contribute in important ways as they grow.
We are excited to receive people into a community
of faith, where together we will make a difference in the world. Welcome
to Fairview Church!
