"My favorite thing about volunteering is talking to everyone and seeing new faces at church." -Mike Gibson

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.

Mike Gibson serves on the Welcome Team, more often than not, you’ll see his smiling face in the parking lot as you pull onto Friendship’s campus. “My favorite thing about volunteering is talking to everyone and seeing new faces.”
