About Friendship Baptist Church
Friendship Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation in Johnson City with roots reaching back to 1916, when eight U.S. Army veterans founded it as The Old Soldiers Baptist Church at Mountain Home Center for Disabled Veterans. Reverend Lafayette F. Anderson was chosen as its first pastor. The church moved to its current location in October 1978, and Dr. C. H. Charlton served from 1977 until his retirement in 2018 as Pastor Emeritus. Reverend Lester D. Lattany became pastor in 2019. Friendship Baptist supports children, youth, singles, seniors, and health-related ministry, with facilities that include a computer lab, youth lounge, and Health Ministry.
