• The Friendship Baptist Church’s ministerial staff plays a crucial role in upholding the mission and vision of the ministry. These dedicated individuals work alongside the Pastor to ensure that the church functions effectively as directed in the roles of assisting in worship services, teaching Sunday School, and Bible Study, and other duties as assigned. 

• Each member of the ministerial staff brings unique gifts and callings. As Ephesians 4:11-12 states, “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”  We thank God for our ministerial staff at Friendship Baptist Church.
