Greater Friendship Baptist Church is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 136 congregations of the Baptist family gather across Alaska — 71,872 across the United States on The Church Map.
Baptists pressed harder than anyone for religious liberty in America, and the freedom every other congregation on this map enjoys is partly what they won.
