Our Pastor

“God has been so gracious to let me serve as the pastor of Friendship since 2010. I grew up in Alabama (Roll Tide!), and married my sweetheart, Wendy!

We spent several years in East Tennessee where I graduated from The Crown College of the Bible (Powell, TN), and served with Ralph Benfield at Morristown Baptist Tabernacle. 

Stanly County is now our home, and we love this community! Wendy and I would be honored to meet you and your family! Please connect with us soon!”

~ Pastor Clint Lewey

  • Church membership is only for saved people, and it is a commitment made in Christ to a local church.
  • As a member, you are involved in the care and work of the church (physically & spiritually). Also, the rest of the church is committing to your care too!
  • Since it is important, we have this process for receiving new members:
    1. Speak with the pastor or one of the deacons
    2. The pastor or deacon will ask you to share with him your testimony of salvation (after all, membership is only for saved people!)
    3. If you are uncertain of your salvation, or if you have never been baptized since being saved, we would love to share Scripture with you and pray with you about those matters!
    4. You will be nominated for membership
    5. After a few weeks of prayer and consideration, the church will vote to receive new members
    6. Upon affirmation, you will be welcomed to the family!
