About East Fairview

Living With Jesus

Lost Follow Learn Grow

What does it mean to Live With Jesus? We believe that everyone is or has been Lost. But the good news is that Jesus came to seek the lost! After finding us, Jesus holds out his hand and says something incredible, “Follow me.” You see, Jesus invites us to Follow him. When you make the choice to follow Jesus, you will Learn a new way of life in his Kingdom. Even better, you will Grow to become more like him. And we believe that this is the good life!
In terms of our personal lives, we talk a lot about Lost, Follow, Learn, & Grow. These words are meant to capture something that we believe is very important – Discipleship. We’re not focused on accomplishments because Jesus has already accomplished everything for us on the cross. And that deserves a big Amen! But we are focused on who we’re becoming. We want to be intentional about stepping into the process of becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.
