Noteworthy Events

The Annunciation, by Henry Ossawa Tanner

• IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ: In 1989, Friendship Presbyterian Church’s building was rebuilt. 30 years have passed since then and we are thankful to the Lord for continually adding to our numbers. Now, in order to comply with new building regulations requiring both interior and exterior renovations to strengthen the building structure, the leadership of the church has decided to temporarily relocate our offices and worship services. In January, 2020, we will move our staff offices to the old China Evangelical Seminary building at 101 Tingzhou Road, Sec. 3 (about a 5-minute walk from the current building). Sunday services will begin there starting on February 16th. We ask that all our brothers and sisters face this challenging time together, working as one to support the renovation of the building, and praying for the Lord’s protection and guidance through it all.
