MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTORS
Rev. Dr. Craig B. Gaddy Sr., - Senior Pastor
Thank you for taking the time to review our website and to get a better understanding as to what we are, and who I am as the pastor. I stand on the cutting edge of the social, racial, political & economic lines that prepares a people for the real world. My theology is a functioning composite of Liberation coupled with Empowerment. It is through this lens that I view the world; the nature of my faith, my God and my Christ. God for us is more than a moral compass or just a symbolic relic to be worshipped with no expectation of a God event or God activity, but at Friendship God is real, absolute, one who's factual; not fictional. It is through the community of faith that God reveals Himself through His work; by, for, with and through the lives of the believers. We are the voice of the voiceless, the providers of help to the helpless, and a symbol of hope for the hopeless. This only begins to tell the story, and this is where you come in.
Reverend Sheila Glenn, Assistant Pastor
Rev. Sheila Glenn is the first woman to serve on the hired staff of the FBC ministry. Through her faithfulness, dedication and love for God's people she was brought before the church to serve as the Assistant Pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church. Friendship never had an Assistant pastor until Rev. Glenn was installed as the Assistant Pastor. Glenn brings a plethora of talent, passion, transparency and experience to her ministry. Pastor Glenn is a graduate of the College of New Rochelle, BA, and Harvard Divinity School, MDiv., for she believes "we can do all things through Christ, which strengthens us. No mountain is too high, no river too wide and no valley is too deep if we hold to God's unchanging hand.
