About Us
Our Church, Old Friendship Baptist Church, is to be a place of fellowship, where Christians can be devoted to one another and honor one another (Romans 12:10), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32), encourage one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and most importantly, love one another (1 John 3:11).

Knowing Jesus & Making Jesus Known
Knowing Jesus means knowing the GOOD NEWS! That Good News is that while we are all sinners (those who have failed to live up to God’s perfect standard), Jesus has provided a way for sinners to be pardoned instead of punished. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, we can have a relationship with God (through Jesus) that transforms our lives forever. That we may have everlasting life.
