The Friendship Baptist Center is a Ministry Center located in a poverty impacted community in Des Moines. Its ministries are designed to help meet needs of individuals and to display the love of Christ.

Residents in the community surrounding the Center face many daily challenges including: drugs, gangs, lack of adequate English skills and unemployment. The Center exists to be a source of hope and a light for Christ within the neighborhood.

This ministry is funded through the Baptist Convention of Iowa. Your support of the Cooperative Program, Annie Armstrong Easter Offering and Hyde State Missions Offering makes this ministry possible.
