current series
june 15-august 10
This summer, we’re biting into the Fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These aren’t just virtues to strive for; they’re the evidence of a life rooted in the Spirit. Join us as we explore how our connection with Christ shapes our character and cultivates qualities that reflect Jesus!
next food drive
august 10
We collect food to support local food banks the 2nd Sunday of each month! You can drive up to the front of the Worship Center on Sunday mornings to drop off donations and our team will help unload. Donations will be accepted on Sundays only (we will no longer collect food on Saturdays). This will help us streamline our efforts while continuing to provide meaningful support to those who rely on local food banks. We’re grateful for your ongoing participation!

church online update
Starting in July, we won't be live-streaming Sunday services. However, we will continue to make the message available on demand for those who are unable to attend in person or miss a week. Instead of a live option, we'll post Sunday’s message on our website and podcast by Tuesday each week. This area of ministry will continue to be reimagined and revisited as our vision process unfolds. Click the button below to watch a message from our team.
church vision process
Starting in September 2024, we will begin the process of assessing, evaluating, and discerning God's specific vision and calling for our church. A team of 12 will be led through this process with the guidance of a coach through Knot Navigators. Click below to learn more. We will continue sharing about this process as it unfolds.

more ways to engage
Catch up on messages or go back and listen again on the Fair Oaks Church Sermon Podcast. Instead of watching on video, you can listen to just the message on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
We've introduced Cutting Room Floor episodes into the sermon podcast, where we go deeper to unpack what didn't make the cut and discuss more message themes with Sunday's teacher! NOTE: Episodes on break during the summer series.
Want to become more familiar with the worship songs we use in services? Check out our Spotify playlist! We regularly update it with songs you'll hear on Sundays.
