Description of Organization

Vision Statement:
We strive in everything we do to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
We seek to love one another in a way that visibly demonstrates our care and
commitment to those around us. We aim to love our neighbors through willing self-
sacrifice, ensuring we care for them well.

Who is FHC?
In 1984, Friendly Hills Church (FHC) began as a home Bible study hosted by Walt Kendall, a young PCA "Mission to North America" church planter. Under Walt’s leadership, the church—originally named Harvester Presbyterian Church—met in homes, a hotel, and a public elementary school "cafetorium" for four years. As the congregation grew, we moved into a remodeled firehouse and eventually purchased property in the 1990s, centrally located between Greensboro, High Point, and Jamestown.

FHC has remained committed to spreading the gospel through missions, discipleship and church planting. In 2011, we planted Christ Church Greensboro, and in 2024, we are sending out Rev. Chris Jessup as a church planter to Burlington, NC.

We are dedicated to discipleship from the cradle to the grave, believing that children’s and youth ministries is a vital means of sharing the gospel. Our hope is to see God foster genuine community among us to fulfill these goals.

Our church family currently includes 200 members and 58 non-communing members. We have a vibrant and growing group of young families, as well as an active senior ministry known as the Just Older Youth (JOY) group. Our staff includes three full-time positions and six part-time staff members. We are now seeking to fill our third full- time position.
