OUR PASTORS

Friendship Baptist Church is dedicated to cultivating a vibrant community of faith grounded in the truth of God’s word. Our mission is to empower every individual to grow in their relationship with God by fostering an environment that encourages learning, understanding, and the practical application of God’s word.

PASTOR DAN RUSHING

Pastor Dan Rushing has been a cherished member of Friendship Baptist Church since June 2005. Over the years, he has made invaluable contributions to our community, serving in various leadership roles before becoming our Pastor.

 

He graduated from Bible College in 1967 and has served in multiple pastoral roles for 50 years. Before taking on the role of Pastor in June 2021, Dan dedicated his time and energy as an Associate Pastor and Deacon. Furthermore, he was instrumental in leading congregational singing during services, fostering a sense of unity and reverence in worship.

Today, Pastor Dan Rushing continues to guide and inspire our congregation with his unwavering commitment, wisdom, and passion for spreading the Gospel. We are grateful for his leadership and are excited for the spiritual growth of our church community under his care.

ASSOCIATE PASTOR DON WILLIAMS

Pastor Don Williams is a dedicated and compassionate spiritual leader who has been serving the community since 1972. He holds a degree from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO, and has a wealth of experience in ministry, both within the United States and internationally.

After completing a year of internship in Oklahoma and another in Alabama, Pastor Don and his wife felt called to serve as missionaries in France. They moved there in May 1974 and spent over four decades sharing the Gospel, nurturing relationships, and fostering spiritual growth within the French community. Their commitment to spreading the Word of God led to a profound impact on the lives of many.

In January 2019, Pastor Don and his wife retired from their missionary work and returned to the United States. In October 2021, he took up the mantle of Associate Pastor, where he continues to provide pastoral care, mentorship, and spiritual guidance to his congregation.

Pastor Don’s extensive experience, passion for service, and heart for God have made him a valuable asset to the church and a beloved figure within the community.
