We would love to see you there.

2026 Reading Challenge: The Youth Sunday School class will be reading through the Psalms and Proverbs in 2026 and invite the church to join them on this reading challenge.

Children’s Message Volunteers: Each week Fairfield seeks to offer a short children’s message in the service. If you’d like to volunteer to deliver one of those messages, you may sign up on the bulletin board in the hallway. Simply select a brief passage of Scripture from which to teach and offer a simple explanation of the passage or short testimony of how that verse has affected you.

Volunteers needed: The Nurture Team sponsors a visitation team to provide care for members of our church family, including those who are, or have recently been, hospitalized, homebound, or sick at home. If you’d like to volunteer, please see Anita Sweeney.
