In 1889, our church began in a blacksmith shop in Richmond, Virginia. In 1892, as the membership grew, a frame church was built to house the worshipers. By 1914, a cornerstone was laid for the large brick church built on Fairmount Avenue in Church Hill. On October 8, 1961, ground was broken in Eastern Henrico County for the present day facility. The first worship service was held on June 24, 1962.
In 2004, Fairmount United Methodist Church and Bishop Memorial Methodist Church became known as The Eastern Henrico Cooperative Parish with our pastor serving both churches. Each Sunday, Fairmount offers Sunday School for adults, youth and children. Our church service includes a Children's Moment. Communion is held on the first Sunday of each month. All are welcome at the Lord's Table. As disciples of Christ, we endeavor to live by the words of Jesus. If you do not attend a church that enriches your life, we invite you into ours.
