"My most memorable moment at Friendship was having the Welcome Team remember (or try to remember) our names on our second time attending." -John 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.

John Bredensteiner and his wife Cheryl started attending Friendship when they were looking for a church closer to home. His most memorable moment here “was having the Welcome Team remember (or try to remember) our names on our second time attending.” And now he’s helping create that same first-time guest experience on the Welcome Team.
