Friendship Presbyterian Church Is Part of the

Synod of South Atlantic

The mission of the Synod of the South Atlantic is faithfully to serve Jesus Christ and the Presbyterian Church (USA) by supporting the ministries of our 16 presbyteries and encouraging cooperation among sessions, presbyteries, and the General Assembly.

The synod serves this mission through:

Supporting the development of new churches
Supporting the transformation of congregations
Supporting the development of racial/ethnic congregations
Providing scholarships for theological education
Covenanting with church-related institutions within the bounds of the synod
Fulfilling the constitutional and administrative responsibilities assigned to the synod in the Book of Order
Facilitating conversation between the governing bodies of the church
Offering pastoral care and support to presbytery staffs

The SYNOD is involved in two areas of programming: Racial Ethnic Ministries and New Church Development. More than 160 of our 997 congregations have a racial ethnic membership of 20 percent or more, which includes persons of African American, Hispanic, Korean and Native American heritages. The presbyteries in our synod have organized 33 new congregations since 1998, and more are planned.
