Our Children’s Ministry is focused on the training and development of our youth. We first seek to introduce the children to the Bible and Christ Jesus and then progressively teach them more about the Gospel. For our pre-teens and adolescents, we seek to help them to identify themselves and offer Christ as the model to reflect. We encourage all youth to participate in one of our various youth ministries: choir, dance, audio/visual, ushering or children's church.

The Friendship Worship Center Praise Dancers are committed to the very essence of the scripture:
