Welcome to FBC
Your spiritual journey was meant to be shared.
From the beginning, FBC Watsonville has been a friendly place where people can join in and feel like part of a family. A place where faith and relationship with God flourish through learning, growing, and serving.
The people who can cheer you on are already here. Browse a little, then come and meet us in person this week.

What Holds Us Together
Four values we embrace.
01
Relational
We cultivate a highly relational environment where you are known, loved, and accepted right where you are.
02
Transformational
We seek ongoing spiritual transformation — faith that changes how we live, not just what we know.
03
Scriptural
We believe transformation happens when we are rooted in Scripture, taught clearly and applied honestly.
04
Missional
Our success is measured by our visible love for others, here in Watsonville and around the world.
