how we serve
blessing box
Fairhope Christian Church has installed a community blessing box stocked with non-perishable items such as rice, beans, cleaning supplies, baby items and toiletries. It is free and there is no signing up or waiting. It is open to all who feel a need. Our congregation realizes the importance and the need and in response support our “wagon Sundays,” where our youth gather up supplies to keep the blessing box stocked.
christian women's fellowship
Our Christian Women’s Fellowship is active in many areas of ministry. There are currently two circles meeting once a month. One circle meets the second Tuesday of every month at 10:00 am. The second circle meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm. Both circles seek to be doers in providing ministries that lift up our community such as gathering items for Ecumenical Ministries that families cannot purchase through their SNAP program, food drives, sponsoring water giveaways at community events, supporting the Shoulder, Light of the Village. They also provide meals during funerals, weddings or other milestone events.
family promise
Fairhope Christian Church is part of the Family Promise program which helps families who have lost their home. Once a quarter, the church welcomes in families who are in the Family Promise program and provides them with a place to stay, food and fellowship. The families stay at the church for one week before moving on to another church or organization. We are blessed to be a part of this program which is a vital need in our community.

samaritan's purse operation christmas child
Each year, Fairhope Christian Church participates in Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox ministry. We collect small items for boys and girls, fill the boxes, wrap them and then send to a distribution center where they are shipped around to world to children in need. This is a wonderful ministry that stretches across the globe to touch children who may not receive anything other than this small box of usable items and toys for Christmas. We call our local response, "Sally's Shoeboxes," in honor of a wonderful saint whose heart was in this ministry.
ged scholarship
Fairhope Christian Church has partnered with Coastal Community College to provide funds for qualified students to help offset the cost of their GED testing. We also help fund scholarships for students wishing to pursue higher education. This is a great ministry that helps these students take the next step in their educational pursuits or life ambitions.
path to peace
Path
to Peace is a grassroots movement of a large number of churches on the Eastern
Shore to come together and offer a response to the violence and racial discord
that is affecting our communities. The church is seeking to provide concrete
actions that will demonstrate our unity, our commitment and our love to each
other and to God. Through dialogue, events, peaceful marches and a real getting
to know one another, we hope to build a foundation of peace and unity that
looks beyond race, creed, denomination and cultural contexts and sees each
person as a valuable creation of our loving and devoted God. True unity comes
from our belief and understanding that God is our creator, sustainer and
redeemer.
