The Person, the work, and the power of the Holy Spirit is fundamental to who we are as a people. We unabashedly own the truth that the Spirit can transform us, possess us, equip us, and empower us. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that sanctifies us, makes us holy, sets us apart for sacred service, and seals us for eternity’s sake. It is the Spirit that convicts us of sin and enables us to overcome sin. It is the Holy Spirit that can breathe supernatural gifts into us, for Jesus’ sake. He is the Comforter promised by Jesus and the witness of our redemption (Gal 5:22–23). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655309831438-R1GCS6HOMVUL3IB4H52A/unsplash-image-vZsoojmXaB4.jpg Our Beliefs - Trinity We believe in the Trinity, one God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655309486166-ALFDB4PJ2KQEWFSW0KPZ/unsplash-image-nSn5Labyy-M.jpg Our Beliefs - Importance of Church We believe in a local, visible church that is composed of believers in Jesus Christ who have repented of their sins, confessed faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and gather together for worship, the Word, and fellowship (Acts 2:41-47) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655309035730-DXXCKTXZ34VYKYI2EH0V/unsplash-image-_oPKN0C7s9U.jpg Our Beliefs - Our Beliefs Friendship Church exists to - Love God, Love People, and Live to Serve - within our circles of influence. We take God’s command to love very seriously, as in John 15:12. ”My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you”. Our vision at Friendship is to be a place where all people are eager to attend, grow in Christ, and commit to serving like Him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655312737169-XJ90XXC0MFONO18VBQOL/unsplash-image-Swk4G_xi_uM.jpg Our Beliefs - Unity We Believe in Unity. We are a people uniquely called by God to be a catalyst for Christian unity, believing that the division of the body of Christ is hell’s greatest weapon to thwart heaven’s ends in this world. We are convinced that the splintering of the body is not the Lord’s work, but the enemy’s; we believe that hell trembles at the prospect of a people united, redeemed by the blood, and possessed by the Spirit (John 17:21). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655312416410-Q58ZTXMI2OYFCKLPHJC4/unsplash-image-SZaxKdLwz6o.jpg Our Beliefs - Word of God We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:21). The scriptures are the complete and final revelation of the will of God to man and therefore the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16-17.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655313894290-UZU12KB0GC95XQKMNL6G/unsplash-image-vKBdY7e7KFk.jpg Our Beliefs - Receive by Faith We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who receive Him by faith as their personal Savior are forgiven and justified (John 1:12) by His blood shed on Calvary (Romans 5:9) and His resurrection from the dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655314183245-XK5V1Y3U4ZHCDSDWNKLF/unsplash-image--NNqLVtTmyM.jpg Our Beliefs - Ordinances We Believe in Baptisms, Communion, and Baby Dedications. We believe in water baptism by immersion for persons who have accepted Christ as their Savior. We practice observance of communion as a means of remembering Christ’s sacrifice and death on the cross. We perform child dedications to acknowledge the parents’ desire to raise their child in the ways and instruction of the Lord. (Matthew 3:13-17; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Proverbs 22:6) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/8ce8b484-cb9f-43a3-827c-2b9bc839a828/1604567_10152214972527313_1429751253_n.jpg Our Beliefs - Affiliation Friendship Church is affiliated with the Church of God movement, Anderson, Indiana. https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/our-staff daily 0.75 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/c2d79b68-2e7f-4cf9-a6e8-7b786e8e10db/IMG_0546.jpg Our Staff - Our Pastor Nathan has served as Lead Pastor at Friendship Church since October of 2012. He was raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and then attended Mid America Christian University in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma studying Pastoral Ministry. He met his wife Devon while he was serving as Student Pastor in Hamilton, Ohio, and they married on 7-7-07. They have served together in ministry ever since. They have been blessed with two exceptional children, Celia and Greyson. Celia is in the 6th grade and loves all things animals and loves to read books and write stories. Greyson is in the fifth grade and is caught up in the Star Wars Universe, Legos, and is a sports fanatic. Devon teaches fourth grade in Monterey and loves soccer, dance, and spending time with family at the Lake. She leads the Power Up kids ministry and serves on the worship team. Nathan’s hobbies are anything sports-related: being a fantasy sports junkie and a die-hard fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, Missouri Tigers, and Green Bay Packers. He has a passion to fish, though he would not consider himself a good fisherman. Nathan and Devon have a passion to help families with kids with special needs, as they are parents of a child on the spectrum as well. The Heady’s love Cookeville and feel very blessed to be able to lead and serve at Friendship Church for almost 10 years. https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/lifegroups daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/lifegroups1 daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/home daily 1.0 2022-07-30 https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/donate daily 0.75 2022-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655400923429-WLLO96DFERRWXHF4WC5Z/unsplash-image-TBHOuN6URGU.jpg Donate https://www.friendshipcookeville.com/lifegroups2 daily 0.75 2023-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a370fc0935a2262639b39f/1655571196059-7YYLOAJDH8PABHDFWTG1/unsplash-image-KdeqA3aTnBY.jpg Life Groups Ministry - Tuesday Men Men of all ages.
