Small Groups
Every believer is on a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Because we believe that we never stop developing our discipleship, Fair View offers a variety of small groups for adults. Adult Sunday School, United Methodist Women, and United Methodist Men are our core groups.
Beyond these core groups, we offer additional small groups on both a short-term and long-term basis. These include: Bible studies, Book Club, MOPS, Emmaus Reunion Groups, Members Applying Gifts Intentionally (MAGI) workshops, a Quilting and Prayer Shawl Ministry and many more opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship and outreach. We are always open to suggestions for additional studies.
Please contact the church office for more information about or to register for a study. You do not have to be a member to join a study. We welcome everyone. Child care is available for most all classes if requested.
Fair View loves to fellowship and we have many opportunities to spend time with each other out side of small groups. A few of our fellowship opportunities are: Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner and Talent Show, Easter Breakfast, Potluck Dinners, and Family Nights.
