Fairview Methodist is a large brick building. While no date was found it is of a style that would fit the mid-1900s, more contemporary, less ornate than the early 1900s. It is a large building probably built before the population decline of the the late 1900s. If you look at the side view though, there seems to be a smaller older church in the middle of the building. It looks like the newer church enveloped an older church. The inside photos on the Religious Structures website show a meeting room with stain glass windows. This might be the older chapel.
The photos and Facebook pages show an active congregation with many events. It also is involved in the community with multiple activities..
"FOOD PANTRY April of 2013, our church started a “food pantry” for some families in our community. The continued success of this program is totally dependant on us. We will continue to need food items every week, even during the summer months. Please help us help others with your contributions!"
