Welcome Friends!

        As the proud pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, I would like to extend a warm-hearted welcome to each and every one of you as you take the time to search diligently through this technological catalyst to encourage, to strengthen, to inspire and to build you up as the Body of Christ.

       I fervently pray that each one of you seek the Lord Jesus Christ for the destiny in which He has called you to soundly grip your feet into the foundational substance of faith by reading, studying, talking, and believing the Word of God.

        I pray that you rededicate your entire being to the will and purpose of Our Heavenly Father in such a way that you will unwaveringly fight the good fight of faith resting in the strong arms of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do not cease to labor in prayer for you each and every day that you come into the full knowledge and understanding of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

      I also pray that you walk boldly with the assurance of the Holy Ghost that according to 1 John 3:2, “Beloved, Now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” I continue to pray that you take your rightful place of not occupying the premises of a building, but you hold fast to the promises of the Word by standing, and when you have done all to stand, stand therefore.
