We, the church have missed it! Going down a path that caused us to lose sight on what’s important, ‘connecting’ with the people. We worried about our ‘Sunday’s Best’, ‘Show-Stopping’ choirs, positions and more. But when we look back at the Bible and the life of Jesus, He simply connected with people. Here at Friendship we embody the same doctrine of Christ. We want to connect with you, disciple you and teach you how to connect with others concerning the gospel of Christ.
