VISION OF FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH

"Write the Vision, make it plain, that they may run and not faint, though the vision is only for awhile. It shall speak and not lie. If the Lord said it you can count on it. He will do just what He says. It is so. Yes, it is so. He will do just what He said."

Since the relocation to Yorba Linda, the Lord has certainly been making the vision plain. With 3000 + members on the roster, we have had to expand the sanctuary, enlarge the parking lot twice, and constructed the James D. Carrington Learning Administrative and Educational Center. The Carrington Center allows us to have a complete and substantial educational facility. The facility encompasses approximately 24,000 square feet of administrative offices, sixteen classrooms a resource center, choir room, counseling and conference rooms. The facility allowed the church to expand some of our youth and adult ministries, and has provided additional space accommodations for our educational, musical, and church ministry programs.

Presently, we have the drawings for our new facility - we are currently under construction for the Stephen Bryson Youth Activity Center.:

Are you ready, have you written the vision down? Do you see that it's plain? We, those who are committed, believe that "It is so, why, because God is not a Man that He should lie, He will do just what He says!"

A View of the FBC Mission

We presently occupy the entire "Island Type" parcel of land that extends from Bastanchury and Imperial Highway to Prospect Avenue, approximately 10 acres. In addition to the existing Sanctuary and Multi-Purpose Building, and the James D. Carrington Administrative and Educational Learning Center, the property will include the following "new" and "future" facilities/projects:

The Stephen Bryson Youth Activity Center - Currently in Progress
Youth Center will have study facilities with computers, game room, gymnasium and Assembly Hall with stage and additional classroom spaces.

Purchase housing in the surrounding area and convert to transitional housing

Purchase property on Bastanchury to house a Christian School (K-12)

Mortuary

New Parking Spaces- existing parking will be expanded to add 150 spaces

We are truly thankful for our present facilities, and God is blessing our efforts to run an effective, efficient, Christ-centered program for our youth and adults. He has always provided the necessary resources to do whatever He asks of us. We are excited by the growth in the various church ministries and tremendous spiritual fruit that is resulting. We view the vision as an important investment in the spiritual lives of our children, youth and adults, and thus the very future of our community.
