MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
Worship Team
​
Team meetings occur 4 times per year to plan seasonal church programming and activities related to worship. We need team members!
​
Team members oversee areas such as preparation for monthly communion services, assisting the pastor with communion during worship and preparation/delivery of communion to our homebound members and friends. Other areas include rotating the colors of our altar paraments and our banners according to the church worship calendar, arranging for weekly altar flowers and special occasion floral displays, and decorating our sanctuary for various holiday seasons.
​
The worship team also plans special events such as Ash Wednesday service, Holy Week services, All Saint’s Sunday, and Christmas Eve service.
​
The worship team assists the pastor and music director(s) in recruiting choir members, praise band members, children’s choir, bell choir, and special music events. The team also updates and maintains policies on church weddings and other community uses of our sanctuary.

Team meetings occur 4 times per year to plan seasonal church programming and activities related to missions (both local community missional service and support for global missions).
​
Fairview Church supports a wide variety of mission projects, which are highlighted at the beginning of each calendar year in our annual Missions Conference. Be sure to watch for missions news in our weekly bulletin and our monthly newsletter. On the local level, our outreach to our community includes...
​
Closet of Blessings: This is a long-time congregational ministry that gives gently used children's clothing to families in need.
​
Backpack Ministry: This congregational outreach supplies food to children at Park Avenue Elementary School who are identified as having a need for nutritional items to supplement their basic weekend dietary needs. It operates on a weekly basis during the school year.
​
Tree of Giving: Our congregation focuses on a monthly community mission chosen by our Missions Team. We collect monetary gifts or items that are needed by a particular local agency on a monthly rotational basis. Collected items include stamps and cards, canned goods, socks, coats, toiletry items, and seasonal personal supplies.
