"My most memorable moment at Friendship was our first time attending. We met more people that first day than the 5 years we went to our last church." -Cheryl Bredensteiner

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.

Cheryl Bredensteiner is most likely one of the first faces you see and first hands you shake on any given Sunday morning. “My favorite part of volunteering is meeting new people and visiting with the people I already know. I am naturally a very shy person. Being on Welcome Team has helped me come out of my shell. Without volunteering, I would have missed out on so many friends.”
