Worship at Friston
Friston is an Independent Reformed Baptist Church where the Authorised Version of the scriptures is exclusively used in worship and preaching. We use Gospel Hymns as our main hymnal and worship is conducted in a reverent manner. During the afternoon service the children leave the service prior to the sermon to attend Sunday School.
