"My favorite moments at Friendship are getting to capture baptisms with my camera on Sunday Nights." -Megan

At Friendship we believe the Church is not a building, it’s people, serving together to glorify God as an effective and influential church. So, each week, we highlight a volunteer or staff member who serves at Friendship, because our volunteers and staff make everything we do possible! We’ve asked each person some fun questions to help you get to know them better.

Megan and her family were looking for a new church home and several families we knew from a previous church attend Friendship and loved it. Every person in her family now serves on a volunteer team at Friendship and gives their all to it. Most Sundays you’ll see Megan behind the lens of her camera capturing Friendship moments. “My favorite thing about volunteering is getting to forever capture moments of joy, hope and love. And random moments of silliness.”
