Our Story

Friendship Missionary Baptist Church (“FMBC”) is a faith community committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ via love and service. As such, FMBC is a safe space where people are welcomed, accepted, appreciated and empowered. FMBC’s commitment to loving and serving others is not just a catch phrase; it is a clarion call to action. At FMBC we do not seek members but disciples! We break limits with a lifestyle guided by our Lord’s love and liberation!

FMBC is a multigenerational family church. We embrace and respect the wisdom our grandparents have to share. We appreciate the leadership of adults who share their expertise and knowledge. We embrace young adults and college students whose transformative energy challenges us to seek innovation in our spiritual approach. We celebrate teens whose excitement and changing abilities teach us new ways to praise God. And, we adore our children and babies whose inspiring presence requires us to build more, grow stronger and love harder that they might know and experience God for generations to come!

It is our goal to provide a place where people can have a life-changing experience with God. Our hearts and our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. What people usually notice first about us is the warm and loving nature of our ministry. We want to infuse life and God’s love into the lives of people through engaging, powerful worship experiences that offer biblical truth in relevant and practical ways.

FMBC is more than just a weekend church. We are engaged in services, bible study and a plethora of ministries throughout the week. As the ethic of love is at the heart of our ministry, we offer opportunities for the development of authentic and enduring relationships with others.

Together we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the scriptures, where there’s relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of contagious enthusiasm and joy that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time. And as we always say “FMBC is the place to be!”
