Welcome!

We are happy to have you worship with us today. Here in our Fairmont family it is our goal to bring you closer to Jesus in a loving environment. If you are looking to make this your church home, we invite you to speak to one of our Elders as you exit the doors of the sanctuary. It is our hope that Fairmont can be a place where we all proclaim Jesus, and prepare people for His soon return. We Study 9:30 am – 10:30 am
