ABOUT US

Our Mission, Values, & Beliefs

Our mission at Friendship Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. This mission is rooted in Jesus' final instructions to his followers in Matthew 28:19. Friendship seeks to carry this mission out to our community. By sharing God's love and grace, we can transform ourselves and our communities. 

​

Making disciples begins with each of us. Friendship Church offers bible study so we can learn more about what being a disciple means. We study Jesus' teachings and ministry to draw closer to Him, which makes us stronger disciples. When our discipleship grows, we share the gospel of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection with others, making more disciples. Discipleship is an on-going process, and we invite everyone to join us on the journey.
