We would like to welcome you to First Friends Church. Whether you are a member, in town for a visit or are looking for a church home, we hope you will feel you are an important part of our worship experience.

If you are looking for a church home, our prayer is that you will discover God’s direction for your life regarding a church in which to worship. If God should lead you here, we will do all we can to love you, help you heal of any past hurts, train you with biblical teaching, and prepare you for whatever God may call you to do.

The Friends style of worship is more quiet than some, but filled with the present reality and life of Christ among us. We have materials available about the Friends, and our pastor and others will be happy to talk with you and answer questions you may have.

“You are my friends, if you do what I command”. John 15:14

Which road do you travel? If someone were to observe your daily life, what would they conclude about you? Would it match what you want for yourself? Would it match what God wants for you?
