FBC Online Directory

Our invite-only, opt-in virtual congregation directory. 
Church Center is where our congregation can go to connect with our church. You may have already used it to register for an event, join a group, or check in for an event. Now Church Center includes a directory feature. We're so excited to offer this feature to anyone who considers FBC to be their home.
Don't worry, your information is always private until you choose to share it and you can change your privacy settings or opt-out at any time.

Can I join without sharing my information?

Yes, you can be a part of our directory with as little or as much information you are comfortable with sharing.
Below is an example of the Directory settings and the information that can be shown or hidden.

Why is my adult son/daughter who lives with me not listed in my household?

For database purposes, we place anyone who is 19 or older in their own 'household'. Therefore they won't be listed in their parent's household even if they live at the same address.
