Jason Davis and family

Jason Davis - Pastor

Welcome! My wife, Amy, and I are natives of Pontotoc. We called Middle Tennessee home where I planted and pastored a church for 18 years. Recently, we felt the call to return home and are excited to be part of the Friendship family in our hometown of Ecru! We have two daughters, Adelyn and Ainsley, who attend North Pontotoc.

As the pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, I am passionate about helping you discover your purpose and find a true sense of belonging. Outside of church activities, you might find me tinkering on an old truck or indulging in my love for Krispy Kreme donuts.

We look forward to getting to know you!

Eli Hiser - Associate Pastor and Students

My name is Eli Hiser and I am originally from Russellville Alabama. I graduated from Blue Mountain Christian University with a bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry. I met my wife Lexi at college and have been married since June of 2023.

As the Associate Pastor and Student Minister of Friendship, my hope is to help guide you to Jesus and that He becomes the center point of your life. I am passionate about students and leading them with the help of the Holy Spirit. Outside of the church I love writing poetry, and playing golf.

Michael Bishop - Worship

Hi there! My name is Michael Bishop and I am the Worship Pastor here at Friendship. My wife, Reisa, and I have been involved in ministry together for the last 9 years. I pastored a church in Calhoun County for 6 and a half years, then was Associate Pastor and Media Pastor at a church in New Albany for 7 and a half years. Our two kids, Grayson and Ava both attend South Pontotoc.

In addition to leading worship, I am committed to equipping and mentoring worship teams, developing creative ministry initiatives, and fostering a culture of spiritual growth through praise. I work alongside church leadership to ensure the worship ministry aligns with the vision and mission of the church. Together we strive to create a dynamic worship environment that is accessible and meaningful for all ages and backgrounds.
