Rev. Rob Fletcher has accepted the call to be the new Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church. He will be at the church full time in early January 2025. On December 8 he will be preaching all services.
PASTOR ROB FLETCHER
Pastor Rob Fletcher accepted the call to be the new pastor of Friendship Baptist Church with an official letter to the church on October 26, 2024. The letter was read to the church on Sunday morning, October 27, to the congregation with a loud round of applause upon hearing the letter. He and his wife, Adrianna, will be moving to Ocala, Fl the early part of January 2025 when Pastor Rob will assume full time duties of Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church.
INTERIM 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.
With the retirement of Pastor Dan Rushing on June 9, 2024, Pastor Williams was voted to be the interim pastor of Friendship Baptist Church during the search for a new pastor.

HOW TO DONATE TO FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH
Spreading Joy through Giving
GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION
God’s plan for all humanity. We recognize that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. However, through His grace and mercy, we can be reconciled to Him through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is surely at work in our lives, empowering us to live a pleasing life to God. As we follow Jesus Christ, we are transformed by His love and grace and empowered to live a life that honors Him.
At Friendship Baptist, we invite all seeking to know God and experience His salvation to come and join us on this journey of faith.
