Biographical or Historical Information

Fairview Methodist Church had its beginnings around 1860 when a small band of people met to establish a place of worship in the community. Pine Grove school, a small log building, was apparently used as the church's first home. Other buildings served as church meeting places until, in 1950, the present sanctuary was completed. Additional structures have since been built to serve other church functions.
