2018 - Street Fairs, Festivals and Concerts

Ongoing Events

Evangelism is alive and well at Fairview Bible Church. Happy Valentines Day!

Many times you find us doing sound and helping at street fairs, festivals, and concerts. We continue to try to be a part of what’s already happening in our community and to encourage and share the love of Jesus Christ. There are so many opportunities in our community to just step out and serve and love people.

One of our favorite out reaches is the Give Back To The Community Benefit Concert. Gathering worship teams together and playing in a public arena blesses not only local churches, but the community also. This year we played at the Sequim Civic Center Plaza and raised awareness as well as donations for My Choices and the Sequim Food Bank. We usually do this event in July on a Sunday. Keep your eye out for flyers at your local church or just look us up on Facebook.

We desire the world to see the church function in a healthy unified manner, while reaching out and doing good works within our community. Just before He went to the cross, Jesus prayed for believers, that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me (John 17:21). Healthy relationships between brothers and sisters draw unbelievers to Christ. Thank you so much for all you do contribute and help so we can continue to serve and equip the Saints for the work of the ministry.
