Faith West Service Times: 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.
Sunday Mornings at Faith West
Where do I park?
If you're visiting for the first time, just flash your lights when you pull in, and we'll direct you to our visitor parking area. Otherwise, there should be plenty of spots around the building.
What should I wear?
Where whatever you're comfortable wearing in a casual social setting. You'll see everything from shorts and a t-shirt, to suit coats and collared shirts.
When should I arrive?
We recommend that you arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to give yourself plenty of time to check in your children (if you need to), get some coffee, meet some people, and find a seat.
How is the Faith West service different from the Faith East one?
We have our own worship team. Most weeks one of the Faith West pastors will preach the same message as the one being preached at Faith East.
Small Groups at Faith West
Small groups are groups of families from our West campus that meet throughout the week.
They exist to promote spiritual growth and meaningful Christian relationships.
