FORMING CHRIST IN US TOGETHER
The Holy Spirit wants to work in every one of us to make us more and more like Jesus—knowing him better, loving God and our neighbors and making disciples. And this doesn’t happen in isolation. At Friends Church, we believe we grow best when we’re in community with one another.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
-Jesus, John 10:10
