Be Our Guest

 What to expect

Coming to a new place, especially a church, can be scary.  Walking into a building where you don't really know anyone can intimidate the best of people.  Our goal is to make this a pleasant experience.  So what should you expect when you visit with us?

Fairview Brethren in Christ is a church that is passionate about connecting people to God.  We work hard to help build relationships with God and each other.  Because of this, we understand the concerns that people have when visiting a church for the first time.

DRESS:     When you visit us, you should expect a relaxed atmosphere.  We don't get hung up on a formal "Dress Code".   A good rule of thumb would be to just dress modestly and comfortably.  We are here to worship God together and no one should judge another by how they are dressed.  We don't either.

Worship Atmosphere:     We love God and get excited about what God has done in our lives. You'll find a traditional setting of worship that is relevant for the whole family.

Uncertainty:    Fairview BIC is a place of discovery and growth.  You may not have all the answers to all of life's questions, however, we can introduce you to the One who does.  Give us the pleasure of introducing you to Jesus who loves, cares, and desires to have a personal relationship with you.

People:     When you visit us, you should expect to be greeted by someone who is thrilled to meet you.  That person can help you with everything from finding the nursery to answering any questions you may have.  We are here to make your experience a great one.

Teaching:     We believe the Bible is the Inspired Word of God and is relevant today.  Our services focus on providing practical wisdom from the Bible that people can use in everyday life.  Read Our Beliefs.

Kids:     Our Fairview BIC Kids Services are second to none.  We offer a nursery staffed with people who care about kids.  We believe that children can experience God's salvation and teach Biblical messages geared towards their age and understanding. 

Greetings:     One of the biggest challenges to many who visit a church for the first time is the idea of standing up and allowing people to greet you.  Most people would rather sit quietly and not stand out.  We understand that and promise to not do anything to embarrass you.

Offering:     At each service, we pass an offering plate to gather the tithes and offerings of those who call our church home.  We believe it is Biblical for people to give back to God a portion of what He has given to us.  However, as our guest, we are not requesting you put anything in the offering plate other than a way to possibly reach out to you.  You may if you would like, however, you are our honored guest and nothing is required from you.

After:     We would love the opportunity to reach out to you and help answer any questions.  Some people who visit already have a personal relationship with God and are just looking for a new place to call home.  Others have not begun or don't even understand what it means to have a personal relationship with God.  If this is you, we would love the opportunity to talk about what God has done in our lives and how much He loves and desires to have a personal relationship with you.
