    A point cannot be perpendicular to anything. The perpendicular bisector of a chord indeed always passes through the circle's center, though.

The theorem says that: Any line drawn from the center that bisects a chord is perpendicular to the chord. Your statement is missing the word "line" and also it will be perpendicular to the chord instead of circle's centre.



Hope this helps.

    Let $AB$ be our chord with midpoint $M$ and $O$ be the center of the circle.



    If your question is "Is $OMperp AB$ true?" so the answer is "no".



    For the counterexample take $AB$ is a diameter of the circle and take another diameter, which is not perpendicular to $AB$.



    If our chord $AB$ is not diameter of the circle so $OMperp AB$, of course.
