"Everyone's Welcome Aboard the Ship"
"Everyone's Welcome Aboard the Ship"
Friendship Baptist has over 200 youth affiliated with the church. With that number of young people, we know that Friendship Baptist Church will be around for many years to come. The second Sunday in each month has been designated as youth Sunday. On that day the youth get a chance to show how they praise the Lord. They handle everything from startup to finish. The pastor designated this day for the youth because he knows that one day they will be carrying on the work of the Lord in the church. Sis. Charlotte Lewis is Youth Director.

Dance Team
The Dance Team is comprised of young people who love to demonstrate their praise through Christian Liturgical Dance. The bible says to praise Him with the timbrel and dance and everything that has breath should praise the Lord. African Americans have a strong heritage of singing and dancing for the Lord. We want to praise Him with everything we've got. The Dance Team is in need of a supervisor to work with our youth in this ministry. Sis. Renae Bailey, Director

Reclaiming Our Youth (ROY)
The ROY Program is a state funded program to take back our young people from which the world thinks it has stolen. Former Sen. Charles Steele, Jr., provided funding through the state to keep this program operational. This program is in partnership with the Tuscaloosa City School System. The program has provided means for children of all ages to participate in activities and travel to places they normally would not get an opportunity to travel. Some of the locations where ROY has travel are: Disney World in Orlando, Aquarium in Chattanooga Tennessee, Civil Rights Museums in Memphis Tennessee and Birmingham Alabama and many other locations. ROY meets on the second Saturday at 9 a.m. at various locations. Program is unfunded at this time.
