Gather
For Worship
We expect every member to attend our Sunday services on a regular basis. Every member is encouraged to tirelessly invite those who are far from God to one of our worship experiences. We hope that you will seek out and develop relationships with people who need a relationship with Jesus Christ. FWC will partner with you by creating engaging worship experiences where the gospel message is preached in a relevant & applicable way.
Grow
Through Groups
We believe that spiritual growth happens best in a small group setting. That’s why FWC is a church of life groups. Life groups are the place where we grow in our relationship with God and connect with other Christians. They are also the place where life on life discipleship takes place.
Give
Time, Talents, and Treasures
At FWC, we believe in and practice whole-life stewardship: that everything we have is God's and that we are to use what God has given us to be a blessing to others. We encourage every member of FWC to serve God and others by investing their time and using their God-given gifts and abilities (talents). We believe in servant leadership and our model for leadership is Jesus Christ: those who want to be leaders are servants. We also ask those who call FWC their church home to invest at least 10% of their income (tithe) into God's work at FWC.
Go
and Make Disciples
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. We believe we are the. modern day book of Acts church. The Great Commission of Matthew 28:19 is the responsibility of the local Church to go into all the world and make disciples. We desire to be a church that is outwardly focused and passionate about "dominating our community with the love of Jesus Christ!" Therefore, we expect all of our members to be actively involved in making disciples in our community and around the world.
The Hope of the world is not the local church; it's the local church Mobilized.
