Conflict is an inevitable part of any relationship. The question is not, “Will we have conflict?” The question is, “How will we deal with conflict?” Conflict can strengthen our relationships or it can destroy them. We are committed to helping people build strong, enduring relationships. We desire to see marriages, families and friendships that are healthy and growing. Navigating through conflict is an important part of the process. We invite you to join us as we begin a three-week series designed to give you lasting principles for the most important relationships in your life.
Join us for nine practical principles that James, the brother of Christ, believed were important for the young Christian church, and that are equally important for us today.
LOST… that’s how we feel sometimes when it comes to our marriage or our family. We didn’t plan it that way. Like most people, we didn’t head into marriage or parenthood thinking we would ever lose our bearing. It usually happens gradually - a few wrong turns and then the growing sense of being surrounded by the unfamiliar. We are committed to helping marriages and families navigate through the challenges of life. We invite you to join us this weekend as we begin a five-week series designed to give you lasting principles for the most important relationships in your life.
Life is difficult. It doesn’t always turn out exactly the way we had planned. Sometimes our dreams get shattered. Other times they just get put on hold. Either way, the result can be devastating. It can change our attitude from hope-filled to hopeless.

Every January many of us experience something that could only be described as “Christmas remorse.” We go into the Christmas season saying, “It’s going to be different this year. I’m going to slow down. I’m going to stay within my budget. I’m going to focus on the real meaning of Christmas.” Then January comes and we are exhausted, feeling further away from God than we did before the Christmas season.
We need to mind God’s business, not the business of others who would distract us from our divine purpose. Citing the blind man given sight by Jesus in John 9, we should focus on the divine resolution, rather than the miracle worked. The whys and inequalities of life aren’t important; what’s important is to be ready and able to do God’s work when called upon, to His glory. Resolve to turn away from distractions, such as procrastination, jealousy, addictions, pessimism, etc. which will “come out of the woodwork” to keep us from realizing the unique task He has carved out for each of us.
The mission of Fairfax Community Church is to penetrate the culture with the Gospel so that lost people become fully devoted followers of Christ. The last eight years has required sacrifice and enormous generosity on the part of many people. Because we live in such a mobile society, many of those persons gave generously knowing they would not be here to personally enjoy the fruits of their labor. They gave because they believed in the vision for Fairfax Community Church and they wanted to see the impact of this church increased.
