The first FallFare started in 1972 when a group of church members sold craft items in order to raise money for new church pews. The tradition continued, shifting its focus to other non-profit organizations.
The annual fundraising event for the church’ s outreach typically raises over $ 10,000 to provide financial support for local, state, and international mission efforts.
