There are 1440 minutes in every day, and each day brings with it opportunities to serve God by serving others. We desire to make the most of each day by being obedient to God and being good stewards of our time. We, as a church have chosen a group of ministries that we support with our time, our finances and our prayers. We believe we are called to support the ministry efforts of other ministries as well as our own, joining together in Christ for the good of others and ultimately, the Gospel. “Do not neglect to do good and to share in what you have , for such sacrifices are pleasing to God,” Hebrews 13:16. We welcome your support.
Founded during the 2013-2014 school year by Pastor, Scott Collins, Backpack Buddies provides children from food-insecure homes with healthy weekend meals during the school year. The children, selected by school principals and guidance counselors, receive a backpack containing balanced meals and snacks at the end of every week. Back Pack Buddies serves the public schools in Marion County, helping feed children from ages 4 to 19. Many staff members from Marion High School along with Friendship Baptist and other area churches, civic organizations, and volunteers help collect and pack bags with kid-friendly non-perishable food. Coupled with the financial support of businesses such as Dee Electric Co-Op, Anderson Brothers Bank, Marco Rural Water, EagleWing Tribute Band, the Eastern Carolina Community Foundation, Pee Dee Peanut Farmers, and Pee Dee Academy, Back Pack Buddies continues to bless many children and those who partner with us in the incredible ministry.
Members of Friendship Baptist Church show support and love to middle school students at Johnakin Middle in Marion and Palmetto Middle in Mullins, South Carolina each month of the school year.

School supplies, toiletries, snacks and gift cards as are among the included items.
