Fairview Adults
Fairview’s mission is to nurture lives to stand in Christ at every step, and we believe this means that every adult should be actively seeking to nurture and be nurtured in Christ no matter where they are in faith or life.
We are convinced that this mission is best accomplished through the strategy, worship - develop - serve. This strategy calls every Fairview covenant partner (member) to (1) regularly worship God on Sunday mornings and through the week, (2) regularly develop as a disciple through one of our ministries (adult ministries are listed below) and/or through a discipleship relationship, and (3) regularly serve Fairview as well as the surrounding community and world.

Fairview’s Sunday School classes are the small groups of the church. They laugh, cry, and pray together as they study God’s Word, and they invest in one another’s lives. Sunday School classes are often where relationships are first formed at Fairview, and some of our classes have even been journeying together for decades. These classes embody much of what our value, “Intertwined in Our Life,” is all about. All our classes meet from 10AM to 11AM on Sundays.
