Nationally known evangelist Tim Lee described Friendship Baptist
Church as "one of the most exciting young churches in America." We are a young, growing church with an eternity
of opportunity! Friendship is one of the newest local churches in Ocala, Florida. In 2000, several very dedicated families
made great personal sacrifices in launching our church because they beleived there should be a new gathering of believers
in SW Ocala. From that orginial step of faith on March 3, 2000, there is today a fresh, growing body of believers in our community!
Nine years ago our attendance averaged in the 40's. We are currently running in the 140's! Several new families have joined
our membership as they too have felt the hand of God working among our people. There is a lot going on at FBC! Our building
is packed to capacity every Sunday forcing us to have two Worship services. In 2008 we broke ground for a new auditorium and
celebrated the completion in November 2008.
Our Ladies
Bible Fellowship (meeting the first Tuesday night of the month) are studying through the book of Acts. They take a break during
the summer months (June, July and August)but will pick it back up the 1st Tuesday night of September.
The FBC choir meets every Sunday afteroon at 5:00 p.m. as well as a short practice
on Wednesday night following the mid-week Bible Study. We also have a beautiful nursery, ornate bathrooms, georgeous grounds
over eight acres in size and an ever-expanding dream!
Wednesday night Teen IMPACT is designed for our youth. Our
FBC Team Leaders are launching our teen's to an exciting spiritual level of seeking God. The Wednesday night dynamic style
of C. J. Fouraker's (a 2010 graduate of Trinity Baptist College) preaching and love for the teens make Wednesday nights a
life changing experience.
Our Senior's Ministry, Young @
Heart is headed up by Mac & Pat McClanahan. They meet the last Friday night of each month and believe that Grey is just
a color and that youth comes from within.
We
invite you and your family to join us in this exciting adventure. This journey is one of joy and fulfillment. Challenge your
faith! See you this Sunday at FBC!
