church vision process
Over the past year, we began the process of assessing, evaluating, and discerning God's specific vision and calling for our church. A team of 12 was guided through this 8 month process with a coach through Knot Navigators. We are now in the second phase of vision work with our staff and elders in fall of 2025. Read updates and what to expect for broader sharing with the congregation in 2026.

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!

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.
