About The Friendship Baptist Church
The Friendship Baptist Church under the current leadership of Rev. Dr. Reginald E. Bachus, is one of the oldest African American Baptist churches. Founded in 1897 and located on the Westside of Chicago, the church has embraced within its doors throughout the years several great black political icons past and present including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, and President Barack Obama. The church, built under the auspices of the late pastor Rev. Dr. Shelvin J. Hall, has architecture with ties back to the Motherland, with windows shaped like pyramids and pews made of wood from Mozambique and the entire church building resembling an African Hut.
