There are many ways to make donations to Faith Baptist Community Center!
Financial Donations

Baptist Mid-Missions
P.O. Box 308011
Cleveland, OH 44130
Please be sure to memo your gift for Faith Baptist Community Church & Center.
Or, you can visit the Baptist Mid-Missions website to print out a donation form or to give online (either way, make sure to specifically designate the gift for Faith Baptist Community Church & Center).
