About Us – Friendship Baptist Association

A family of like-minded churches in Middle Georgia who are working together to share the gospel

Committed to the Great Commission

As an Acts 1:8 association, our churches are active in mission work both locally and throughout the world. They also fund key ministries of the Friendship Baptist Association to glorify God: Hispanic churches in two communities, training leaders through our Advancing in Ministry program, Friendship Camp, and more.
