The mission of Friend's Community Church encompasses both a local and world view to evangelism. World View are the missions organizations we currently support and with which we are partners. Through World View we can accomplish our mission to help the people of the world begin and continue a lifelong friendship with Jesus Christ.

Gonaives Christian Mission (GCM)- Haiti : is a church of some 800+ members and over 400 students enrolled in the GCM school. They meet in one main church in the city of Gonaives. They also have three Satellite churches in Henry, Grand Leau, and Gros Morne. All four of these locations have Christian Schools as an additional arm of their ministries. The schools provide a quality education to the children of the areas in which they minister. Students and members of the churches also benefit from "feed the hungry" programs because the GCM is registered with the government of Haiti as an authorized distribution location for these and other benevolent relief projects. Friend's Community Church is a supporter of GCM monetarily and physically as we will venture to the land of Haiti to participate in Short Term Mission projects.
