About Us
Friedberg Moravian Church is a congregation of the Southern Province of the Moravian Church in America. The Moravian Church is a mainline evangelical Protestant denomination whose beginnings can be traced back to the teachings and martyrdom of Jon Hus in the early 15th century. Friedberg has served the southern Forsyth County/northern Davidson County communities for almost 250 years by providing opportunities for worship, Christian growth, missions, outreach, and service.
Like our Moravian founders, our direction has always stayed in the service of Christ. And so it is Friedberg’s character, as it has been for over 250 years, to be “salt and light” in the world, as we strive to express our faith through our life – a life we have only found in the life sacrificed for us by God’s only Son, Jesus Christ.
