Ministry Communities and Ministry Teams - Connecting People to Service

Truly healthy churches have a thriving base of volunteers who serve with passion and enthusiasm. We invite you to join one of our Ministry Teams so you, too, can be part of the exciting and rewarding ministry of Fairview Baptist Church.

Discover how God has gifted you for service by participating in an online spiritual gift assessment. When you complete the assessment and understand your spiritual giftedness, ask God to show you where you need to get connected to ministry. Contact Phil Henry at phil@fairviewchurch.org or the church office if you have questions about any of the following ministries.
