Networks
WFBC is supporting of other ministries/organizations that are either promoting Christ or working to benefit their fellow man. We do not place a theological litmus test on a potential ministry partner, but rather, we look closely at their work, to see if they are really about the business of being the “salt of the earth” or changing the world for the better. We are always looking for other churches and organizations in which to partner.
WFBC currently supports the work of numerous organizations in and around the Wake Forest Area.
For more information regarding Networking with WFBC, please contact Donna Marshall.
