These folks are here to help you and answer any questions you may have. What to expect on a Sunday Morning & Wednesday Night On Sundays we have small groups starting at 9:00 AM. Pick up a small group brochure at Info Central to find the perfect class for you. Worship starts at 10:00 AM and lasts until around 11:30 AM. We start off Wednesday nights with a freshly prepared fundraiser meal at 5:30 PM. These meals are offered each Wednesday Night as a convenience to busy families and to raise funds for various ministries in the church. Following the meal we move into the sanctuary for worship from 6:30 PM – 7:00 PM. At 7:00 PM our children, youth and adult small groups dismiss to various classrooms. Adults also have the option to remain in the Sanctuary for Bible Study and group discussion led by Pastor Milan. Church wraps up around 7:30 PM. Announcements If you join us on Sundays be sure to take a worship bulletin. Inside you will find our latest announcements and information. We also send out a weekly HAPPENINGS email.

Just fill it out and drop it in the offering plate or stop by Info Central. Communion We celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of each month by remembering Christ’s sacrificial death for our sins. All believers are invited to participate in Communion at Christ’s table. |
Church Membership
One of the most distinctive features of the Church of God is there we require no formal membership. We believe that all believers are members of THE Church, therefore we do not feel that you must join the church to be a part of service. Fairview is associated with The Church of God Anderson, Indiana. The church is a holiness Christian body with roots in Wesleyan Theology. For more information on the Church of God and what we believe please visit our national site: Jesus is the Subject Church of God, Anderson, IN Ministry We are here to do as Christ commands to “serve the least of these.” We support a mission in Guatemala led by missionaries Danny and Kim Lopez. We also serve our community through helping those in need through prayer and service. For more information on Danny and Kim and our work in Guatemala check out their page: Buena Vista Ministries We at Fairview also believe that small groups play a key role in connecting the church body. The goal of the small group is to ensure that everyone is connected to Fairview: The Grace Place and has an opportunity to spend quality time with other believers within the church. Youth and Childrens Ministry Kids are our priority at Fairview. Both teams play a key role in teaching that God loves them, we love them and that God wants to have a relationship with them. The purpose of our ministry is for each and every student to experience Biblical teaching and study that engages the mind; relationships with small group leaders and peers that engage the heart; and servant opportunities that engage the hands. Fairview is a place for learning but also a place for students to have fun with a purpose! |
