Welcome To Faithful Central Bible Church FAQ
Faithful Central Bible Church welcomes all men, women, and children to be guests of our worship services, Bible studies, and open men’s and women’s groups. As friends of our ministry, you are welcome to become familiar with what we do and teach. However, there are ministry involvements that do represent the distinctives and our church philosophy, and thus would be foreign to the persons who are not members and not familiar with Faithful Central and the Family of Champions.
The Number One question we are asked is: When, where, and at what time is your Dynamic Bible-based, Spirit-led services scheduled throughout the week?
- Sunday 10:00am Service – The Forum
- Wednesday 7:00pm Service – The Tabernacle

What should I wear? Church attire should be the best of what you have; considering God has provided you His very best. As such, we do ask that hem and top lines maintain modesty.

Casual wear, athletic gear, and non-business fashions are usually worn during this time.
