Everyday Indigenous, Black & Brown Relatives live as proof needed that we are still here. We all experience the daily challenges of existence… futile? No. Exhausting? Yes. Everyday there are attempts to erase. Everyday.
Hello Friends & Family,
We are coming to you with heavy hearts to announce the ALERTING NEWS that our beloved house of worship of 70+ years is currently being unlawfully sold under our congregation.
Friendship Baptist Church located at 606 Broadway, Venice, CA 90291 was founded and organized by Rev. L. C. Clayton who led his congregation alongside his wife Mother Bessie M. Clayton, and their five songbird daughters known as "The Clayton Sisters" who continued the legacy of their father for five decades.
The doors of Friendship were closed in July 2023 under the influence of a once trusted and valued staff member, One year later July 13, 2024, Friendship was put on the market where it has remained for 105 days. It recently came to the knowledge of the congregation when it was told that the property may possibly have already been sold.
Our plan is to remain firm in our stance against ANY PENDING SALE of Friendship Baptist Church and we ask for your undying support as we have quite the fight ahead of us. We come to you asking for your prayers and support by following us on all platforms, along with signing our change.org petition that will be linked below!
Along with awaiting any UPCOMING EVENTS that will be held, we look forward to banning together and showing how STRONG not only our Friendship Baptist Family but our Venice and Oakwood Community truly is.
