Partnership
Friendship does not believe in “membership”. Members pay their annual dues or monthly fees and expect to be taken care of and catered to. Instead we ask people to become Ministry Partners.
A “Partner” is someone who believes in the Mission and Vision, and then leverages themselves to help accomplish them. We believe that once a person becomes a follower of Christ that the next natural step is to join with a local body of Christ and partner with them. The Bible clearly teaches that none of us are in this alone, and in fact, we won’t be vibrant believers, we won’t be a part of a prevailing church, and we won’t be successful until we learn to work together, pulling in the same direction and striving for the same goal!
