We're So Glad You're Here
​So, you're new here?
​
We can’t wait to connect with you—whether you join us in person or online. We understand that finding a church home (or even choosing one to visit) is a meaningful decision, and we don’t take that lightly. Below, you’ll find everything you need to help plan your first visit.
We’re a fast-growing, multi-generational congregation in Wake Forest and online, committed to honoring God by loving our neighbors—and that includes you.
What You Can Expect
When you arrive, our friendly team will be there to welcome you in our main lobby. Our worship service lasts about 90 minutes and includes heartfelt prayer, dynamic music—from soul-stirring hymns to powerful selections from our choirs and praise teams, featuring contemporary and upbeat-infused setlists—and a time to greet your neighbors and worship through generosity. ​ After that, Pastor Eley delivers an impactful, convicting, and encouraging message to carry you through the week ahead.
What Do I Wear?
At Friendship, we truly mean it when we say—come as you are! As a multigenerational and diverse church, you’ll see everything from Sunday best to business casual, dressy casual, or relaxed attire. Our focus is on worshiping God and being fueled by the Word—so wear what makes you comfortable and ready to receive!

What About My Kids?
We’re so glad you asked! At Friendship, we offer Children’s and Youth Church for ages 5-17 on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sundays, where kids can engage with the gospel in a way that speaks to them. On these Sundays, children and youth will join the main worship service for the first 20-25 minutes before being dismissed to their classes by age group and grade level. (On 3rd Sundays, they actively participate in the full worship experience.) ​ For parents with little ones not yet old enough for Children’s Church, we provide a self-serve nursery—a comfortable space where you can tend to your child, let them play, and continue watching worship on our screens.
Are there Special Services to Note?
Where Do I Park?
Our worship services are held at the FCBC Main Campus building. When you pull onto FCBC’s campus, there are four parking zones. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the service to allow sufficient time for parking.
What If I’m Online?
Joining us online? If you live outside the Wake Forest area, we invite you to worship with us virtually. The "Virtual Ship" is our online experience for virtual members and guests. Enter the vitual sanctuary, worship wherever you are, and engage in the chat. We stream Sundays at 10AM and Wednesdays at 7PM. We’ll see you there!
