Fairview Christian Fellowship located in Fairview, Missouri, USA. The church originated in 1981 as an outreach of the Pilgrim Fellowship Church of Cochranton, Pennsylvania. Six families, including minister Allan Miller, moved to Fairview in the spring and summer of 1981. Services were held in an old country schoolhouse the first year. A parochial school began at the same time.

In 2018 the church had 55 members and was a member of the Mennonite Christian Fellowship. The ministerial team included Bishop David Byler, Ministers Calvin Yoder and Jason Yoder, and Deacon Daniel Schrock.
