About Friends

What are "Friends" anyway? We get our name from John 15:14 when Jesus said, "You are my friends if you do what I command." We began in the late 17th Century as an evangelical outreach. It was, and still is, our hope to call the world to understand the need for a vital relationship with Jesus Christ, not just going through the motions. We firmly hold on to Biblical values and ethics. If you would like more information on Friends, please call the church office.

We Believe

In God the Father Almighty,
Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

And in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord;
Both fully God and fully man
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Lived a sinless life
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
The third day He rose again from the Dead;

He ascended into heaven from there he shall come again.

In the Holy Spirit;
God and the source of truth and the holy scriptures.

The holy scriptures;
The 66 books of the old and new testament
Divinely inspired
Infallible on all subject matters on which it chooses to speak.

Human redemption;
That all humans sin and fall short of God's glory
The work of Jesus Christ atones for that sin for all those who call upon his name
No other act or outward symbol can replace or enhance Jesus' sacrifice.

The true church is composed of all that have been born again into God's Kingdom,
Through Jesus Christ without regard to race, gender, nationality, or local "church" affiliation.

The resurrection of the body;
That all will have an afterlife:
Some to everlasting torment
And for those who have followed Jesus, to everlasting life.

Amen
