As followers of Jesus Christ, assured of God's unconditional love for everyone, we strive to be an accepting and joyful community that centers upon worship, encourages personal growth, celebrates diversity, nurtures individual gifts, and moves beyond boundaries to share, through service, Jesus' love, compassion, and justice in an uncertain world. (Mission Statement - Adopted 2006)
Multicultural Ministry
In addition to worship services in English at 11:00 every Sunday morning, worship services in Spanish are held at 1:00 each Sunday afternoon, led by Rev. Jose E. Torres. Sunday School classes in Spanish for children and youth are held at 12:15 each Sunday afternoon. On the second Sunday of each month, the congregation joins together in a multicultural worship service with the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Our congregation is on the journey to become a multicultural congregation.

Joy Wootton was the organist at Friendship for 30 years. She passed away this year and her son, Robert Wootton, wrote an article about her life. To read the entire article, click here.
This little white church, on top of a hill
And beside a busy highway
Sends out its message of “Peace be Still”
And of “Lo, I am with you always”
So straight and tall, with its slender steeple
Pointing toward the heavens, above,
Shows to the world and all the people
The way to God, and His infinite love
While so quiet, on the hill it stands
I think it would like to say
“Come on inside, where all will join hands
and worship God, on our meeting day”
There will be songs to sing, from the old hymn book
And there will be a call to pray
Then, the people will quietly listen and look
At the preacher, and hear to words he has to say.”
In the midst of darkness, it shines at night
In floodlights, like a picture in a frame
So pure and white – like a guiding light
Leading the call to worship, in our Master’s Name
