The Friendship Club

The Friendship Club is a vibrant, growing community for teens 16+ and adults with developmental disabilities, meeting at the Tysons campus. Participants and volunteers have an opportunity to connect on Saturday evenings at 6:30 pm, or Sunday mornings at 9:00 am and 10:45 am in Room 3000 and at 12:30 pm in Room 3400. The weekend Friendship Class includes lessons supported by the Special Education Curriculum, snack or lunch, games, and fellowship. Participants desiring to worship together may join other Club members in the Edge Worship Service on Sundays at 10:45 am.

In addition to weekend services, members of the Club plan and engage in monthly socials and service projects. Visit the Club's Upcoming Events page to check out where the Club members will be sighted next in the DC area!

Men’s Mentoring
This program fosters a time for the young men of the Club and screened mature men of MBC to have "guy time" in social settings. When possible, Club candidates are matched with mentors for the purpose of building character and fun.

Soul Sisters
This program is for ladies ages 16+ with developmental delays and is designed for a group setting, not one-on-one support. The ladies connect with screened, godly women of MBC for "girl time", which includes laughter, relaxation, and social activities. The program meets approximately every six weeks. Click here for details on our next event.
