Fairview Church of Christ
All we offer is "Uncomplicated Christianity!"
Sometimes Less is More!
That's right. We believe sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to serving God. The church we read of in the Bible was very simple in it's beginning and was never intended to become a complicated organization. In it's beginning, the church was made up of men and women, Christians, who shared a spiritual relationship, into which they entered by means of baptism. The church we read of in the Bible was not complicated by creeds, governing boards, institutions, social clubs or other modern additions. Rather, the New Testament church, both as individual Christians and as a congregation of Christians, looked to Christ as their head and the teachings of the apostles as their rule of faith. That was all!
The New Testament pattern of worship is followed with the First Century Church as our example. We sing, pray, teach, commune and give of our means as God has prospered us. No Visitor is coerced at any time, in any way.
The singing is congregational without the aid of instrumental music. All are invited to sing; 1 Cor. 14:15. It is soul stirring and spiritually uplifting to sing praises to our God and Savior.
Prayers are offered without display. It is simple prayer, audibly spoken by one man as others silently pray along with him. Our prayers are from the heart, not from a book. continue...
Ryker's Blessing As most, if not all of you know, I'm a member of an internet society called facebook. Recently we saw a need to ask for the prayers of all of our friends, and friends of friends, for a newborn, Ryker Waller. When Ryker was born, she was bleeding internally. The doctors found a tumor and for five days Ryker fought for her life. This would seem to be a heart - breaking story and one that would cause great despair to those close to Ryker. Surprisingly it did just the opposite. continue...

RUN Christ
Why would Christ run? Who would he run from? What would he run towards?
Christ didn't run. Everything he did was deliberate and well thought out, but there was running. In Matthew 28:8 the two Mary's ran to tell the disciples about the risen savior and ever since then disciples of Christ have been running for one reason or another! continue...

Cold, Darkness & Evil
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every substance, whether a body or an object; is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy. Heat is what allows matter to have, or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-459.67º F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel when heat starts to disappear.
