Our Mission

​Friendship African Methodist Episcopal Church envisions a transformed community where faith leads to purposeful living and love is demonstrated through service. Our calling is to cultivate hearts and minds that are deeply rooted in Christ, fostering a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth, personal development, and compassionate engagement with the world.

We believe that an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ is essential to spiritual liberation, moral integrity, and the holistic development of all people. Through Christian education, prayer, worship, discipleship, and praise, we equip individuals to live out their faith in ways that uplift others and strengthen the community.

Guided by this vision, Friendship AME Church is committed to investing in both the future of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the well-being of our surrounding community by:

• Prioritizing youth engagement and leadership development

• Serving a diverse rural community with intention and care

• Encouraging thrift, stewardship, and long-term economic growth

• Feeding the hungry and ministering to those experiencing food insecurity

• Caring for the sick and vulnerable

• Providing clothing, housing support, and dignity to those experiencing homelessness

• Advocating for and honoring veterans

Through faith in action and love expressed through service, we strive to be a living witness of hope, transformation, and shared responsibility.
