Friendship Baptist Church

About this church

Friendship Baptist Church begins Sunday school at 9:15 a.m. and morning worship at 10:30 at 3530 Chelsea Drive in Kansas City. The congregation describes the service as a Spirit-filled presentation of God's Word and also supports livestream and recorded content for people who cannot attend. Its media ministry operates sound, screens, lighting, video, and online tools during worship, Bible study, events, and other ministry work, making remote participation part of the church's stated outreach rather than an incidental recording.

The church frames its mission around five practices: evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship, all directed toward sharing God's love in Jesus. That work includes advocacy and social-justice engagement in Kansas City as well as international mission in Haiti and Southeast Asia. Friendship's history began in a storeroom in the 1500 block of East 12th Street, continued in a tent at 14th and Vine, and later moved to 17th and Tracy as Sunday school, youth, music, and ministry expanded. Current ministry teams give newcomers multiple ways to build relationships and use their gifts beyond the main service. Someone planning a first visit can attend the 10:30 worship hour alone, add the earlier class for a fuller morning, or preview the preaching and music online before coming to Chelsea Drive.
