OUR MISSION
At the Ship we want you to feel welcomed and loved from the time you pull into the parking lot and enter the sanctuary until you leave the church grounds.
Our ministries strengthen relationships among people of all ages within the church fellowship. We encourage each other in an environment that
is positive, engaging, uplifting, safe and supportive, including Bible Study, personal support, social activities, and service
and mission projects.
We offer courses to members that build upon your understanding of God's Word and build a closer relationship with God, so that you see spiritual growth. We offer education in discipleship,
stewardship, covenant marriage, singles, bereavement, teacher training.
We provide opportunities for community leadership on social issues that affect our members and community, through our CITs ("Community IMPACT Teams"), including social reform, congregational response, and mobilizing our church's efforts towards moral, social and political issues.
Established in 1912, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Myers has served Southwest Florida for over a century.. Located at 2030 Palm Avenue, the historic, primarily African-American congregation has been a staple in the community.
