Welcome !
Pastor Billy G. Russell is Senior Pastor of Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN since December 2001.
Pastor Russell has been blessed and guided by the Holy Spirit to move the physical location of the church from a smaller location to a facility with a sanctuary which seats more than 600 congregants, multiple classrooms, larger kitchen, and multipurpose rooms, and that houses a K-6 charter school with an average of 125 students.
Pastor Russell’s vision, “winning the world for Christ, with love,” is practiced by the Greater Friendship MBC congregation. Under the leadership of Pastor Russell, Greater Friendship MBC “do church” instead of simply “going to church” by partnering with community organizations, other ministries, student tutoring programs, and with Project Recovery and Re-Entry programs. more »»
