new series
April 27 - june 8
Galatians is a bold declaration of freedom—freedom from legalism, from performance, and from anything that adds to the gospel. In this series, we’ll explore Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel of Christ: that we are justified by faith, not by works, and empowered to live by the Spirit, not the flesh. Join us on the journey through Galatians as we discover what it means to live fully free in Christ—rooted in grace and led by the Spirit.

more ways to engage

Catch up on messages or go back and listen again on the Fair Oaks Church Sermon Podcast. Instead of watching the service 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.
