Mesquite Friendship Baptist Church

About this church

Mesquite Friendship Baptist Church, known to its members as The Ship, is an independent Southern Baptist congregation on U.S. Highway 80 in Mesquite. The church lists Sunday worship at 10 a.m. and a Wednesday service at 7 p.m., though its visitor page shows a different Sunday schedule, so confirm current times on the website before going. Services run about 90 minutes and mix contemporary and traditional music led by a worship team. The congregation began in 1991 when five families started meeting in a small shopping-center space in Dallas, and it later bought a building in Mesquite. Its motto is built around three words: sync, serve and send.

Childcare is available during services, and the church offers activities for every age group. Men in Training works with boys and young men in grades 3 through 12 to build faith, character and leadership, and parents are invited to meetings with the children's and youth leaders. The church also holds Bible study and has hosted community events such as a breast cancer awareness night. A First Impressions team greets first-time guests, and the website has a plan-your-visit page, a prayer request form and membership information, along with a livestream page and recent sermons. Visitors are encouraged to stay after the service to meet people.
