ABOUT US

Pastor Bonnie Hunter answered the call of God after serving faithfully for 20 years, at the Greater Friendship Church, under the awesome leadership of Bishop Zenobie Davis, her pastor and father.

 In May 1995, the Lord led Pastor Hunter to start a neighborhood bible study group on Saturdays in her home.  Waiting on the timing of God, she remained faithful in her father’s ministry until he retired, due to health problems.  The church eventually ended; then the Lord told her it was her time.  Shortly, thereafter, with much prayer and consultation with her pastor, she launched out to plant a church.   She sought the Lord for a name, and He told her to “take the spirit of your father”.  She named the church “Friendship Church Outreach Ministry, Inc” (FCOM). She went out like Abraham, not knowing who would go with her or where to go, but the Lord was faithful who called her.  

 Believing and trusting in the Lord, Pastor Hunter stepped out by faith and the Lord led her to the First United Methodist Church, where God gave her favor with man.  FCOM was founded and the first service was held on December 5, 1995, with approximately 150 people in attendance.  The Lord blessed in a mighty way.  Four people were saved and not even knowing if her children would join (all young adults) the Lord not only led her 3 children but also her two sisters and their husbands and children joined.  Praise be to God.!  The ministry continued to grow.  God has continued to send souls to hear the anointed teaching and preaching of Pastor Hunter, and lives have been changed.

 In December 2000, the First United Methodist Church decided not to renew their rental contract, leaving Friendship with no place to go.  The Lord had a ram in the bush in the name of Bishop Douglas Williams of Redeemed Temple. Pastor Hunter, being led of the Lord called him and shared her dilemma, and he offered his church for worship services.  We moved in February   2001, to SW, Washington, where the Lord took us from glory to glory, adding such as should be added, and teaching us what true worship was all about. 

In September, 2001, God Blessed Friendship Church Outreach Ministry with the purchase of a new facility, located at 5252 Addison Road, Chapel Oaks, Maryland.  On October 5, 2008, One Church, Two Locations was launched at Friendly High School, in Fort Washington, Maryland. After obeying the Lord in casting the net on the South Side, the Lord has added to the church such as to be added.  God blessed us with 80 souls.  In 2010, the Lord led Pastor Hunter to merge the two locations. One church reaching the nations.    In December 2014 FCOM purchased another building for kingdom expansion.  To God be the Glory for the things He has done, Hallelujah!.
 
The church’s membership continues to grow.  Today, the church has over 500 members and countless visitors who come to worship God, be saved, delivered, and set free.  Many ministries have been added to accommodate the needs of the membership.  Friendship Bible Institute was established in July 2006. FCOM, now has 4 churches that have come out of the ministry. Continue to pray for Friendship as we keep our focus on “Reaching and Preaching for Jesus” (RAP), with the reward of souls being won to the Kingdom of God.  Pastor Hunter holds on to the scripture (Acts 26:22) “Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue to this day, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing beyond what the Prophets and Moses said would happen.”
