We enjoy a blended style of worship where many music styles are used — from hymns to contemporary praise songs.
Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is open to all believers in Christ who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. It is His table. He is the host, not us. It is by His invitation that we partake.
Many of our congregation dress in business attire or business casual, but there is absolutely no dress code required or expected.
We have Bible Study classes at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings. As soon as you enter the church, there are Welcome Centers where friendly greeters will assist you in finding all the appropriate classrooms. We have the Pastor's Class during Sunday School which is designed for all guests and new members to attend initially. In this class, you will find out more about the various Sunday School classes and discover which class meets your needs. The Pastor's Class meets for four weeks and we start a new class the first Sunday of each month.
We encourage all children, ages 5 and up, to attend worship with their parents. We provide extended care for children, birth through age 4, in the preschool area during the 10:30 a.m. Worship Service. During the 10:30 a.m. Worship Service the pastor invites all the children in the Sanctuary to come to the front, where he will have a Childrens Moment with them — illustrating what he will be preaching on that morning.
Students meet in the Youth Room in small groups on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. On Wednesday nights from 6:15 - 7:15 p.m. is another time of getting together.
We are located at 700 New Highway 96 W. in Franklin, TN. The church is two miles west of Hillsboro Road (which becomes 5th Street in downtown Franklin); and is 1/2 mile east of Downs Blvd. The church is the only one with a church building on Hwy. 96 W. It is red brick, with white columns, and a copper steeple. Click here for directions.
You can join by profession of your faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord, transfer of letter from another Southern Baptist Church, or by statement that you have made a profession of faith and were baptized by immersion.
Before Sunday School, about 9:00 - 9:15 a.m., enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee and breakfast snacks in our Fellowship Hall. Use this informal time to get to know others.
No. Many of us are not comfortable in front of large groups, and we wouldn’t want to risk embarrassing you. You will not be singled out in any way. During the service, we ask our guests to complete a guest card during our service, and to give you the option of completing a prayer request card if you desire to do so. Simply return the cards in the offering plate when it is passed during the worship service. The completion of a guest card is not required, but is encouraged so that we may have a record of your attendance and gather some basic information about you so that we may send you more information about WFBC. If you should request prayer or a pastoral visit, we are happy to accommodate your needs.
Most visitors describe our church as a place where people will welcome you with a handshake and a smile.You will find a caring and accepting teacher in the small group Sunday School class you attend.
Parking spaces are available on the south and west sides of the WFBC campus, and there are two primary entrances into the building, one on each side. Covered drop-off is available at the west entrance for use during inclement weather. Parents are encouraged to use the south entrance, which is closest to the children's wing of the church.
Our campus has been designed for public and wheelchair access to accommodate participation in worship services and most classrooms. There is a wheelchair available for use on the west side of the building inside the doors by the covered entrance. There is also another wheelchair available by the library. One of the greeters will be happy to get it for you. We have accessible parking in close proximity at all entrances.
We have staffed welcome centers at the both main entrances into the church.
