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.

Theresa Shackelford and her family were invited by a friend for Easter in 2010. From that moment, they felt at home and kept coming back. She’s been serving for several years now on the Welcome Team and in Kids Zone.
