Fairmount Christian Church

When Third Christian Church planted a Sunday School in Richmond’s Fairmount neighborhood in 1902, no one dreamed where Fairmount Christian Church would be today. In its century of existence, Fairmount moved from Fairmount Avenue to Mechanicsville Turnpike to Creighton Road. In each of those locales, God has been mightily at work through the Fairmount family. Innumerable lives have been changed. Millions of dollars have gone into mission work. Countless worship services have been held. Men and women have entered the ministry. Area ministries have been bolstered. Thousands of children, teens, and adults have been experienced the love of Christ and the truths of the Bible. What started with only a handful of families now has grown into a church family with 1,000 people in worship each week. Always with God in front – leading us forward – leading us onward.

Through the prayers of our church’s leaders and our entire congregation, it is clear that God is leading us forward again. As a congregation that is committed to growth, it is time to expand our church’s ministries and facilities to better meet the needs of our community. For some time now, the Fairmount Forward Team has presented to our church family a multi-phase expansion project that will, eventually, fill our current property to capacity with twice as many Sunday morning worshippers.
