"The" Friendship Baptist Church
5200 West Jackson Boulevard  •  Chicago, Illinois  60644

WELCOME

We are "The Church with the Neighborly Spirit."

Organized in 1897

It's 2010, the beginning of a new decade, the beginning of a new year, and the beginning of a new page in life.  On the eve of the new year, Pastor Bachus admonished each of us to reflect on the imperfections of our past, refrain from becoming a slave to our past, refuel for our future and "Turn the Page!"

Many believers struggle with letting go of the past and moving on to a better present and an even greater future.  As we embark on a new year, let us take the time to turn the page of sin, lack of commitment, greed and selfishness, insecurity, unforgiveness and financial mismanagement. 

Finding the strength and courage to turn the page is often easier said than done.  However, in Philippians 3:14, the Apostle Paul offers each of us a word of encouragement, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." 

In 2010, lets turn the page and make our future greater than our past.

"The" Friendship Baptist Church of Chicago, constructed like an African hut, is located at the corners of Laramie Ave. and Jackson Blvd. in the Austin community on Chicago's west-side.  The wood used to construct the pews is from Mozambique in Africa.  The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Bell Tower on the left symbolizes our dreams of hope for tomorrow.
