Boneset Creek - A group of members from the immediate vicinity met in the home of Nathan Whitaker to organize a church in the summer of 1937. Reverend Warren Shirley was moderator of the organizational meeting. The 5 acres of land that the church was erected on after it was organized in July 1937 was the site for the Whitaker cemetery donated by Pleasant Hill Baptist Church byWilliam F. Whitaker father of Nathan Whitaker. December 1949 Pleasant Hill Baptist Church deeded the land to Friendship. Bro. Huey Bailey furnished the timber which the lumber was sawed and then hauled to the site and the church began to be built.
