Friendship Baptist Church is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 706 congregations of the Baptist family gather across New Jersey — 71,418 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. They have carried believers' baptism and the priesthood of every believer to more of the world than almost anyone — and the Black Baptist church has repeatedly been the conscience of the whole nation.

The community around Friendship Baptist Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
