General Info

The Fairfield Church of Christ is a body of Bible-believing Christians who strive to follow the Lord in all we do. Our goal is to equip the saints here in body, soul, mind, and spirit from the cradle to glory. In 1955 the Fairfield Christ opened the doors of its own building at 1127 Clay Street. The building seated 200 and had 8 classrooms. With slow but steady growth, in 1957 the congregation had approximately 75 members. At this time they started making plans for the church's first missionary effort. Harold Helf and his family were sent to Pistoria, Italy. In 1962 the Truman Scott family exchanged places with the Helfs. By 1964 the congregation had outgrown the Clay Street building and purchased a little over three acres on Fairfield Avenue. On January 2, 1966, the church met at its new facility which would seat 400 people and had 15 classrooms. In 1967 the first elders of the congregation were installed: H.B. Darnell and Bobby Sparks. Adrian Dukes and Otis Harper were appointed deacons the following year.
