About Friends.
For generations, Friends has been a place to seek God, grow together, and live out the love of Jesus. Here is the heart behind who we are and where we are going.
We exist to bring people closer to God.
We believe God is near and invites people to seek Him. Our church family wants to make room for that journey and walk it together.
Our Values.
Three simple commitments shape the way we worship, care for one another, and live each day.
We Love God.
We Love People.
We Live Grateful.

What We Believe
Rooted in Scripture. Jesus is our Message. Friends Church is part of Evangelical Friends Church – Eastern Region. These beliefs reflect our shared Faith and Practice.
God
God is our Father. We believe in one eternal God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created and sustains all things and is perfect in love and holiness.
Jesus
Jesus Christ is “the Word made flesh” for us. Fully God and fully human, He died for our sins and rose again, bringing forgiveness and new life. He will return as He promised.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Strengthener, and Guide. He lives in every believer, shapes us to be more like Jesus, and empowers us to live our faith and serve others.
The Bible
The Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by Him. It is trustworthy and without error in all it affirms—our final authority for what we believe and how we live.
The Church
The mission of the Church is to communicate the Good News of Salvation to people everywhere. As God’s family, we gather to worship, pray, grow together, and serve our communities.
Baptism
We practice baptism for those who have put their faith in Jesus. It is an outward sign of the Holy Spirit’s work within us and our belonging to the Church, pointing to our ongoing relationship with Christ.
Our Core Process
We want people to know they are called to God and to one another, equipped with truth and freedom, and sent to love the world and serve the church.

Rooted here since 1807.
Generations have prayed, gathered, and served on these grounds. Their faithfulness is part of our story, and we carry it forward as we follow where God is leading today.
