Reverend Reginald E. Bachus
As the newly
elected Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, Rev. Reginald Bachus, preached his
inaugural sermon on Sunday, November 19, 2006 to a crowd of more
than 250 parishioners.
Before preaching his sermon, he
eloquently sang, "By the Grace of the Lord, I've Come a Long Way."
The sermon's scripture was taken from Exodus 40: 34-38, and the text was
"Waiting On the Next Move Of God." Pastor Bachus
stated that Rev. Hall has passed the mantel to a young unknown man,
and in some minds unproven, from the wheat fields and the yellow
brick roads of Kansas. Pastor Bachus reminded parishoners that
Friendship belongs to the Lord. We need to prepare for what
God has in store for us. He said the first thing we ought to
do is come together to pray for the presence of the Glory of God.
When the Glory of God is in the house, there is no limit to what
Friendship can do! He encouraged parishoners that no matter how
difficult things may get, no matter how hard times may be, we
serve a God that will give us protection as well as
provision. Secondly, we should pray, and God will bless us
with progress. At times, progress is And, so, with these words from Pastor Reginald E. Bachus, "I Know He's Alright!" another chapter in Friendship's history begins.

Rev. Reginald
E. Bachus became the 8th Pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church of
Chicago in November 2006. Rev. Reginald Bachus, the son of Rev. C. L. Bachus,
Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Kansas City, Kansas and the
5th Vice President of the National Baptist Convention, comes to
Friendship
from First Regular Missionary Baptist Church in Lawrence, Kansas
where he was the Pastor. Rev. Bachus' arrival to Chicago as the
Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church is certainly a historical
moment in the history of this great church. Rev. Bachus
succeeds Rev. Dr. Shelvin Jerome Hall who served as Pastor for 51
years. 
painful.
Progress means that we may have to make some changes in our way of
thinking and our way of doing things. Progress means that at
times, we have to reexamine our traditions. We may need to
look at our processes in order that we make sure that when the Lord
says move, we are ready to move. We must be in the proper
position and proper posture in order to be led by God. Pastor Bachus does not want us to forget about the past. Friendship
has a great and rich legacy and tradition. He encouraged
everyone to
study and examine where we are from to prevent making the same
mistakes we made in the past. If true progress is going
to be made we must make sure that we are in tune with the will of
the Almighty God. That can only be done by prayer and with
dutiful participation by the people of God. Pastor Bachus
truly believes that God has great things in store for Friendship
Baptist Church.
