Looking at the clip, the name of the church is shown, entering this in Google, you will find this:
Foundational Beliefs
GOD
We believe there is one living and true God, who in essence, while eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all having the same nature attributes and perfections.
(Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 2:13, 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)
GOD THE FATHER
God the Father is the creator of the universe and is a personal God, who desires a relationship with all people. He is a supernatural being, who has always existed. He is the ruler of all creation, who also hears and answers prayer. He is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love.
(Genesis 1:1; Psalm 89:26; Isaiah 9:6; John 6:27, 45-46; I Corinthians 8:6; II Corinthians 1:3; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 5:20)
GOD THE SON
Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten son. We believe in His conception by the Holy Spirit, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings and that He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He rose from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to earth to reign as King and Lord.
(Ephesians 4:1-8; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; I John 5:20; Isaiah 53:3-12)
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right.
(John 14:16-17, 26, 15:26, 16:7-14; Galatians 5:18, 22-25; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 6:19-20)
THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word to all people, written by human authors through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the foundational source of truth and authority for all Christian beliefs and living. God inspires it without error.
(John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 30:5)
THE CHURCH
The true church is composed of all people who trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Believers are united together in the "Body of Christ" of which Jesus Christ is the head. Friends Church is a group of believers in Christ, who have organized themselves for doing the work of God’s ministry. Our church is responsible to provide opportunities for fellowship, growth, teaching and serving by using one’s spiritual gift.
(Romans 12:5; I Corinthians 12:12-28; Ephesians 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:23)
COMMUNION
Our relationship to God as believers provides us with the privilege of moment-by-moment communion with God. It is this silent communion of our spirit with the Spirit of God that is essential to our continued walk with Him.
(John 6:33, 48, 51, 14:16; Romans 8:11; Ephesians 3:14-17a; II Corinthians 13:5; Revelations 3:20)
The "Lord’s Supper" is a time of remembering the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and for examining one’s life. The taking of the elements does not result in spiritual benefit but provides the believer with a physical method of remembrance in a Scripturally approved manner.
(I Corinthians 11:23-28, 10:16-17; Luke 22:17-20)
Friends Church teaches the necessity of spiritual baptism and communion and provides for water baptism and the Lord’s Supper for those whose conscience would lead them to partake.
BAPTISM
At the moment we become Christians we are baptized into the body of Christ, and this spiritual baptism is totally sufficient for the believer.
(Mark 1:8; Ephesians 4:4-6; Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:11-12; Luke 3:16; I Peter 3:21)
The physical act of water baptism by immersion after accepting Christ as personal Lord and Savior is not needed for salvation or spiritual standing, but it is a person’s testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ.
(Acts 2:28, 8:12, 16, 36-39, 10:47; Matthew 28:16-20)fokyc

Sad emo
Poor guy having such a closed-minded father.
If his dad would set aside his own preconceived ideas for a time and actually listen to what his son was saying, he might learn something really valuable without compromising his Christian beliefs.
