In the fall of 2000, a handful of believers began meeting in the basement of Verlyn & Carol Schaap’s home to pray and study the Bible together with a vision of someday beginning a new church. After hours and hours of prayer, sincere communication, and putting in writing the passion and values God gave us for ministry, Friendship Community Church held its grand opening in October of 2002 at the Bluff’s Area Family Center in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.
Friendship Community Church moved into its new building on
November 2009. Friendship Community Church meets each Sunday at 10:25 a.m.
at 305 Sergeant Squre Drive right next to the Sergeant Bluff Medical Clinic.
We are committed to being a community of believers where everyone can find a friend in Jesus and a friend in us. We believe the Bible is God’s inspired word revealing the good news of eternal life through Jesus Christ. It shows us how we can live a life of purpose and meaning right now.
Prayer:
Nothing can or should be done without seeking God’s will.
Worship:
is our act of love to our heavenly Father.
Seeking God’s lost children:
God loves all His children and wants us to love them as well.
Belonging to a small group:
Life change happens in small groups; individuals are more likely to be
open and honest in a confidential and loving atmosphere.
Caring that meets needs: As God blesses us, we bless others by meeting their spiritual, emotional,
and physical needs.
Serving God and others: Using Jesus as an example, we serve God above all. Then we serve our
church community and our local community through our actions.
Training for ministry: In our ever-mobile society, Friendship Church’s goal is to equip and send
families and individuals to serve others in Jesus’ name wherever God leads them.
We are focused on carrying out the Great Commission (to make disciples) and the Great Commandment (to love God and our neighbor). We believe God will bless us with growth spiritually and numerically as we trust and obey him. If you are hungry, humble, and teachable we invite you to join us in fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandment that God has given to reach this generation.
