Ankeny Campus
Here's what to expect if you come for a service at our Ankeny Campus:
Where do you gather on Sundays?
We're located in SE Ankeny, north of DMACC and just east of Ankeny High School.
When should I arrive?
We encourage you to show up a few minutes early to find your seat and get ready for the service to start! If you’re checking children in to FFC Kids, allow for 10–15 minutes.
What can I expect in the service?
Each service we worship the Lord through song, spend time in prayer, dive into God's Word through preaching, and have a time of response. Each service lasts around 75–90 minutes long.
What about my kids?
Birth–5th grade kids will learn from the Bible in a safe, fun, clean environment! Check-in begins up to 15 minutes before service. Your kids are also welcome to join you in the service!
What should I wear?
We are a casual congregation! You'll see everything from shorts and sandals to dresses and jackets. Our only request is that it’s appropriate for a church setting.
Should I bring anything?
Nope! Just bring yourself. If you have a Bible, feel free to bring it, but we'll have the Scripture on the screen and we'd love to give you a Bible if you don't own one.
What's your music & preaching like?
Our worship style is a blend of contemporary music styles led by a band and vocalists. Our preaching is expository, verse-by-verse, and always points to Jesus. Both designed to exalt the Lord Jesus.
Will I be singled out as a visitor?
Not at all! We won't ask you to stand up or wear a visitor badge. We'd love to meet you at our New? stations or Connect Center, but there's no pressure to commit to anything.
Do you have anything for the deaf community?
Yes! We have ASL interpreters at the 8:30am service each week. We have a vibrant Deaf community that sits at the front of the left middle section in the Worship Center and meets weekly.

Yes! We stream our Ankeny Campus services each Sunday at 8:30 and 10:30am here. You're welcome to watch online to get a feel for our services before attending.

Español Campus
Esto es lo que puede esperar si asiste a un servicio en nuestro campus de español:
¿Dónde se reúnen los domingos?
Nos reunimos los domingos en el campus de Ankeny (317 SE Magazine Rd), en la segunda planta del Centro de Estudiantes.
¿Cuándo debo llegar?
Le recomendamos llegar unos minutos antes para encontrar su asiento y prepararse para el inicio del servicio. Si va a registrar a sus hijos en FFC Kids, considere dedicar entre 5 y 10 minutos a este trámite.
¿Qué puedo esperar del servicio?
Cada servicio incluye adoración, oración, predicación bíblica y un tiempo de respuesta. El sermón se transmite desde nuestro campus de Ankeny, mientras que la música y la convivencia tienen lugar de forma presencial. Los servicios duran entre 75 y 90 minutos.
¿Qué pasa con mis hijas?
Los niños, desde el nacimiento hasta el quinto grado, aprenderán sobre la Biblia en un entorno seguro, divertido y limpio. El registro comienza hasta 15 minutos antes del servicio. ¡Sus hijos también son bienvenidos a acompañarlos durante el servicio!
¿Qué debería ponerme?
Somos una congregación de estilo informal. Verás de todo: desde pantalones cortos y sandalias hasta vestidos y chaquetas. Lo único que pedimos es que la vestimenta sea apropiada para un entorno eclesiástico.
¿Debería llevar algo?
¡No hace falta nada más! Solo ven tú. Si tienes una Biblia, puedes traerla, pero proyectaremos los pasajes en la pantalla y nos encantaría regalarte una si no tienes una propia.
¿Cómo son la música y la predicación?
Nuestro estilo de adoración es una mezcla de estilos musicales contemporáneos, dirigidos por una banda y vocalistas. Nuestra predicación es expositiva —versículo por versículo— y siempre apunta a Jesús. Ambos aspectos están diseñados para exaltar al Señor Jesús.
¿Seré destacada como visitante?
¡En absoluto! No te pediremos que te pongas de pie ni que lleves una identificación de visitante. Nos encantaría saludarte en el Connect Center, pero no hay ninguna presión para comprometerte a nada.
¿Puedo ver un servicio en línea antes de visitar?
¡Sí! Transmitimos los servicios de nuestro campus de Ankeny en inglés todos los domingos a las 8:30 y a las 10:30 a. m. aquí. Puedes verlos en línea para conocer cómo son nuestros servicios antes de asistir en persona.
