For our community
FBC Community Teams practically, actively and intentionally love our community in a way that demonstrates the good new of Jesus.
What we do
We are here for you.
Everyone is welcome at the FBC Centre and there is always someone to speak to. Tuesday mornings are a good time to come down as there is lots of community happening with SHARE and the Friendship Table. We are also in contact with other local agencies, so if we can’t help we will direct you to someone who can. Alternatively, if you can’t get to the building you can contact care@finchampstead.com and we will get back to you.
