"My most memorable moment at Friendship was the first day we ever came - we felt so welcomed!"

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’ll 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.

Say hello to Theresa Wendling, one of our Elder’s wives and a Friendship Creative team member. Born in Richmond, Indiana, Theresa is inspired most by her mother and if she could eat one food for the rest of her life it would be chips and salsa.
