    was founded in October 4, 1968 under the

    leadership of Pastor T. H. Foster. The congregation has enjoyed the leadership of a number of
    dynamic pastors. Growth was consistent over the years, with a few times of ebbs and
    flows. The membership, totaling about 100 at present, is in the process of renewing itself.
    This small, yet powerful, congregation has proven to be most resilient over the years. Born from
    a need to be free in spirit and worship, a group of fifty-two believers set out to create a ministry
    capable of feeding the souls on men and women and offering all an opportunity to praise the
    True and Living God.
    Friendship Missionary Baptist Church is located in what is called the "College Hill"
    community. Nestled in the shadow of the former "Mary Allen College" in Crockett, Texas, the
    church serves a proud community that has seen many changes over the years.
    The congregation stands firm of the tenets espoused by the Holy Bible. We believe in the Holy
    Trinity and water baptism by full and total immersion. We believe that Jesus is our Savior and is
    the second person of the Holy Trinity.

    The Congregation October 2015

    We believe that the Scriptures, embracing both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired
    Word of God, and are the sole authority for our faith and practice.
    We believe that salvation is the free gift of God that comes through
    faith in Jesus Christ and cannot be earned.
    We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and both Savior and Lord of all who
    believe and trust in Him.

    We are a united body of believers; empowered by the Holy Spirit and committed to the
    edification of God's Kingdom and Christ's Body through ministry and genuine Christian
    fellowship.

    Strengthen our current ministries and expand them into new locations and services;
    Apply Christ-like approaches to caring for the lost and under-served;
    Make a significant financial, physical, and spiritual investment to the Crockett community that
    God has entrusted to us.

    What Do We Believe?
    *

    believe there is one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; same in
    substance and form, existing in three distinct persons as the one true God.

    *
    believe Jesus Christ is God's Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and
    man, He lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried,
    arose alive from the grave, ascended into heaven and will literally return to earth.
    *
    believe the Holy Spirit is the Divine Helper, Assistant, Counselor, and
    Instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict sin, lead to repentance, guide
    believers, comfort, strengthen and sanctify the soul.
    *

    hold the Bible in high esteem. We believe the Bible is God's Word, without
    error, without fallibility, and inspired in its original autographs.

    *
    believe human beings are the special creations of God, made in His
    image. As such, every human being has dignity and worth and should be treated as
    such. Humans fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all human beings are
    sinners in need of salvation.
    *
    believe salvation is a gift through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus
    Christ. Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ
    and will spend eternity in heaven, while those who die in their sin will spend
    eternity in hell.
    *

    believe baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience


    Jesus Christ's command.
    *

    believe each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus
    Christ. He is the "one Mediator between God and man."

    *
    believe the church is the local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus
    Christ as the head. The church universal is made up of all believers in Jesus Christ
    from "every nation, tribe and tongue" both in heaven and on earth.
