This congregation is a mosaic of faces. People who have found the love and grace of God in Jesus Christ. By the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives we strive to offer our thankfulness to God through worship, fellowship, service and other activities which help us mature as Christian disciples and disciple-makers. We are young and old, long-time residents and new neighbors. We come from a wide background of previous church experiences. Our common bond is our love for, and devotion to, Jesus Christ. Our goal is to demonstrate that love and faith through the mission and ministry of Friedens Evangelical Church. |

Since Friedens has existed for so long, we have a rich heritage and many interesting stories to tell. We believe that the Bible is God's Word and it is able to speak with clarity and wisdom to every generation. Our faith comes from its teaching; not from any denomination.
