  Hello, you will need to purchase the Site Redirect upgrade to redirect traffic from http://fruitstandfaith.wordpress.com/ to http://www.fruitstandfaith.com/. This costs $13 per site per year.

  To purchase the upgrade, select your site from this screen and enter the new domain or address where you want your WordPress.com traffic to be redirected. Type the URL of the destination site into the blank field, and click the blue button that says Go.

  After that, confirm the purchase and follow the checkout process.

  Please note: In order for the Site Redirect to work correctly, the permalinks on the new site (the one you’re redirecting to) should match those at WordPress.com. WordPress.com uses the following permalink structure:

  http://example.com/2014/10/21/sample-post/

  If the new site you’re redirecting to does not use this permalink structure, the redirect will try to find a post on your new site that matches the post URL from your WordPress.com site, but some visitors may see an error message indicating no matching post could be found.

  Here’s the support page on Site Redirect:
