New Website Is Now Live!

Our new church website is now live!  Visit www.fairwoodumc.org for a newly designed website.  This visitor-focused site has simple navigation and is viewable on all types of devices (mobile, tablet and desktop/laptop).  Since it is a work in progress (yes, we know some things still need work), please let Heather Spates know if you see something that needs updating. communications@fairwoodumc.org
