WE'RE MOVING

Friendship Baptist Church is transitioning to our new official website:
friendshipbaptistftmyers.com
The new website will become the central place to find church information, announcements, events, ministry information, giving, resources, and more.
The old website, friendshipftmyers.com, will eventually be discontinued.

OUR MISSION

A MISSION TO SAVE.  A DESIRE TO GROW.  A VISION TO BUILD.

WELCOME


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. At Friendship Baptist Church, we believe in the power of true fellowship and community. Here, every heart is welcomed, every soul is valued, and every life has purpose. Our doors are open for worship, prayer, teaching, and service, where the love of Christ meets everyday life. We embrace the truth that “you may have your Silver ships, Gold ships, but there is no ship like Friendship.” Join us as we grow together in faith, hope, and love because at Friendship, you’re more than a member, you’re family.
