Engaging The Community That Surrounds Us.

What Is LoveLoud?

Too often Christianity is criticized by unbelievers in our communities and neighborhoods because they only hear and witness criticism and condemnation. They hear only what Christianity is against and not what we are for, nor do they hear of the hope that Christ offers.

What they need to hear and witness more of is the love of God deliberately demonstrated in the community. That is what is so exciting about Friendship Baptist Church’s decision to expand and engage our surrounding communities in a relational and relevant fashion. For our outreach to be effective, we need to speak louder than the other voices that are piercing the ears and hearts of our family, friends, and neighbors.  FBC has clearly demonstrated the desire to do just that! “Love Loud! WeCare @friendshipchurch” is born out of that realization and the language that we will use to communicate our servant evangelism ministry to you and to those who we hope to reach with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
