Our Values

At FC we continually learn, live, and share with others. We value humanity’s reverence for God in three main areas:

1. Relationships

Building true relationships with God and others. We build true relationships with God, family, and others by being pleasant and engaging, and standing with people in life’s changes.

2. Culture

We seek to engage our culture with the redeeming message of the Gospel. We are resilient, and look for the potential in others. 

3. Forgiveness

We strive to let no man offend us. We hope to forgive as Christ forgives

What We Believe

Friendship Church believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. Friendship Church has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.

We Believe:
  • In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
  • In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
  • That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
  • That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
  • That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
  • In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
  • Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
  • In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
  • In the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the evidence of Spiritual Gifts.
  • In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
  • Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
  • In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
  • In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
  • In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

If you would like to accept Jesus as you Lord & Savior, you can pray this prayer wherever you are: ​Heavenly Father, I do believe that you sent your son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins that I might believe on His name and be saved from my sins. Therefore, I confess that I have sinned and ask that the blood of Jesus cover my sins. It is my desire to grow in my spiritual life and to walk out of the darkness into His wonderful light.
