Pastor Pat Burris

School Principal, Pastor

My entire life has been filled with children, and I love them. My favorite descriptor right now is, "Gammaw." I have been at Fairview school for 21 years, and have served as Principal for 7. I have a wonderful, servant of God husband, Chuck and two daughters. Krista is married to Mike and has a beautiful daughter, Abygale and another little girl to be born on April 11th. Cindy is now teaching at Anderson University in the Religious Studies department. They have been a great blessing to me.

I originally graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biology. I then did my Masters of Education degree and my Professional Administrator's Certification at Seattle Pacific University. But most of the really great stuff I have had the privilege to learn has come from being in the classroom with God's wonderfully created children over the years. I have also served as Children's Pastor at Fairview, and totally love working with Jill and the Mustard Seed program. What a delight to be able to share the love of God with these children.

Chuck and I love to read, do woodworking, and serve the Lord! We enjoy being at Fairview because we know God has a very direct purpose for this place, and wants us to be found faithful.
