We are an independent, fundamental Baptist church in Newville, PA. Being independent means that we do not belong to any association or convention, nor are we bound to any other governing body. We decide for ourselves how we function as a church, which is based on scriptural principles and doctrines of the Bible. Being fundamental also means that we believe the Bible is the Word of God in its entirety and is completely accurate and truthful. Our practice, our preaching and our teaching are based solely upon the Bible. We believe the Bible does not contain the Word of God, but rather it is the Word of God.
We are also a church that has a heart to reach the lost, supports world missions, honors God in music and modest appearance, and preaches from the King James Bible.
However, there are a few things you will not find at Friendship Baptist Church. You will not find a casual attitude toward the things of God. You will not find an apology for preaching the whole counsel of God. You will not find a judgmental spirit or disrespectful environment.
What you will find at Friendship is a warm, friendly and caring church where you will be loved and appreciated. You will find people that love others and love the Lord. You will find a place where you can learn what God has for you and what God expects of you. You will also find a family where you can feel at home regardless of your origins or status and that desires to see God's best for your life.
We hope you will visit us at Friendship!
