Faith at Friendship Village
Your Daily Connection to Encouraging Words
Since our founding in 1975, faith in Christ has been the chief motivating factor for all we do. To better meet the needs of our residents, Friendship Village provides for the services of dedicated chaplain teams on both campuses. Those teams present regular worship services, Bibles studies, prayer gatherings, hospital visits, grief support and more. They also and coordinate with area churches and ministries. Friendship Village places a very high value on the faith traditions of each resident.
