In John 15:15, Jesus said: “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you (ESV).  Since Jesus, in some sense, sees us as His “friends”, we believe that God calls us to be “friends” with Him through a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.  We also believe that God also calls us to be friends with each other (John 13:34-35).  Since friends are, by nature, warm and welcoming, at Friends, we do our best to provide a warm and welcoming environment.  We are a committed but inviting group that genuinely cares.
