A Warm Welcome to Fairview Church!

Fairview Church is a faith community of Visitors, Regular Attendees, 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!

Welcome Center
Fairview Presbyterian Church is known as a church with a warm welcome for visitors. Entering through the front doors, you come into the church foyer where you will find the Welcome Center just beyond the steps which lead up to the Sanctuary. A folder containing Fairview Presbyterian Church information is available. Someone is usually attending the Welcome Center who can answer any questions you may have. There is a Guest Parking space to the left of the front entrance.

Accessibility
Fairview provides people with disabilities access to the church by way of an entrance ramp at the side door on the right side of the church. As you enter the hallway, the foyer and elevator to the Sanctuary are to the left. There are four handicapped parking spaces on the church's right side parking area.

Floor Plan
The church sanctuary is located on the second floor. As you enter the front doors coming into the foyer, there are two stairways, one on the left and one on the right. Both lead to the Sanctuary. There is an elevator to the left in the Foyer to the sanctuary. The nursery, church offices, Sunday school classes and fellowship hall are reached through the hallway in the back of the foyer. Further directions can be obtained at the Welcome Center.

Communion
Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month and on Maundy Thursday during Holy Week. Any adult who professes a faith in Jesus Christ and any baptized child under the guidance of their parents may participate.

Music
Music at Fairview combines beloved hymns, sacred choral music, contemporary praise songs and worshipful choruses for a blended service. If you are not familiar with the songs, words to all music are provided each Sunday.

Offering
Fairview Presbyterian Church wants you to experience worship without the expectation of financial giving. A free will offering plate is passed during the worship service. If you wish to give an offering special envelopes are available in the pew rack.

Dress Code
People in our congregation will be dressed in all styles – from casual to dresses and suits. Fairview asks that you dress in a way that is appropriate for Sunday worship service and remember that the worship service is to honor God.

Children in Worship
During the Worship Service there is a brief children's messages and then children ages 4 through 2nd grade during the school year are dismissed to Junior Church where they receive age appropriate teaching.

Child Care
A Child Care Provider is available during the Sunday School hour and Worship service for infants and toddlers through age four.

Prayer Needs
If you have a prayer need, you can fill out a prayer request card found in the back of the pew and place it in the offering plate and your prayer will be added to our prayer list. We also have two elders, a man and a woman, who are available after each Worship service to listen to your prayer concerns and pray with you.
