ABOUT FREEDOM
Our Mission is to Love God, Love People, and Change the World!
At Freedom Church our mission is the final destination, the overall goal of our journey. Our mission is directly aligned with the Great Commandment and the Great Commission of Jesus.
The Great Commandment
Mark 12:30—31 ESV
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
To accomplish Jesus’ Great Commandment, we wholeheartedly pursue loving God and loving people.
The Great Commission
Matthew 28:19—20 ESV
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
To accomplish Jesus’ Great Commission, we relentlessly pursue making disciples in every nation, all over the world.
VALUES
Our Core Values are our DNA. They are what make us uniquely who we are, and help us create a clear culture where people can come in and know how and why we do what we do.
Found In His Presence
We seek to hunger and thirst for God’s manifest Presence and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Dreams Awakened
We will be intentional and take every opportunity to encourage and awaken God Dreams and Activate Purpose and Destiny in everyone we meet.
Relationships
We are committed to honor the people that God places in our lives. We believe God has placed people above us, beside us and under us to promote and encourage growth and multiplication.
Marked By Love
We believe we have been marked by Gods love, because He first loved us. God is perfect love, and His plan is to expand that love in the earth. We were born from love, designed to love and be loved!
OUR VISION
Our vision is what God is building through us! It’s what we’ve been inspired to create together. Our vision first and foremost is to be a healthy church that creates a safe environment for people to encounter God, receive healing, and that releases people into their God given purpose.
So, what is a healthy church?
- A healthy church loves God, and equips people to grow in their love for God; through worship, prayer, and Bible study.
- A healthy church loves people, and equips people to grow in their love for others and develop relationships; through serving and giving.
- A healthy church deliberately makes disciples that make disciples; by equipping and empowering people to share the Gospel of Jesus.
BELIEFS
THE ONE TRUE GOD
There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
THE FALL OF MAN
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
THE DEITY OF JESUS
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is “true God” and “true man.”
THE SALVATION OF MAN
We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.
The victorious and redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment.
THE CHURCH
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
THE RETURN OF CHRIST
We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride – His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
