LARGE FELLOWSHIP HALL

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY – The constructed facilities are for the glory and worship of God and to serve the fellowship and social needs of the    congregation.  There is a sincere desire to be of service to the District of which the congregation is a part. 

It is our belief that as we serve each other, we serve Christ.  Thus, our facility is open to others for constructive use.  The facility may be used by members of the East Fairview Church of the Brethren and District groups.  All activities in the facility should reflect the congregational,    denominational, as well as the Christian view.
