“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” - Matthew 5:13-14

Memorial Day 🇺🇸 We remember & honor those who gave their lives to secure our freedom. We pray we never lose sight of the blessing it is to worship freely together.

Midweek Ministries - 6:30pm

Such a special morning as we ordained 2 new deacons today. We are so thankful for the way God is using these men to serve His Church.

Sharing the gospel can sometimes feel intimidating. This past Sunday, Pastor Matt encouraged us with practical steps that lead to effective gospel conversations. Listen at friendlyavenue.com.

We had an incredible time at our 4th Annual Fire Truck Easter Egg Drop 🐣🚒 We are so grateful for our leaders and volunteers who made this day happen. What a blessing it is to love, serve, and share the Gospel with the community of Greensboro.

We have an Egg Packing Party tonight at 7:30pm AND tomorrow at 10:00am. Egg Drop is less than a month away and we need all the help we can get to prepare for this special outreach event. Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you registered for our upcoming Night of Praise on March 8? 🙌 Can’t wait to see you there!
