As early as the 1870s, Methodist worship services for pioneers of the

Friendship community were conducted by circuit riders in a one-room

schoolhouse (.25 mi. W). Land for the present church site and cemetery was

deeded in 1884 by E. W. Graham, and a sanctuary was built here soon after.

The site of many early revivals, the Friendship Methodist Church has served as

a focal point of the surrounding rural community. Traditional services for the

congregation, including a Memorial Day observance in June and a Thanksgiving

celebration, now serve as homecoming events.
