Mission: "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" (Matthew 28:19-20, ESV).
Vision:
to build a community of genuine believers and see our city transformed by
the life-changing impact of the gospel, as people come to accept Jesus as
their Savior.
What We Believe
The foundations of our faith, and how we try to live them out every day.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct
persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his Son, Jesus Christ,
who is the visible image of the invisible God, through the Holy
Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
Humans, male and female, were created in God's image for his
glory, to be caretakers of his creation.
The Fall
When humanity disobeyed God, sin distorted his image in us and
fractured all of creation.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. By grace, he offers
eternal life as a free gift to all who follow Christ, by faith,
as their Lord and Savior.
The Church
The Church is the visible body of Christ, sent into the world
to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Christ's Return
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge the living and the
dead, and to usher in the fullness of God's Kingdom on earth.
Our Story
Freedom Ministries Christian Center International was
built on one conviction: that the freedom Christ offers is for everyone,
no exceptions. That's where our name comes from, and it's why our doors
are open to every person, every background, and every story, because
"...he came to set the captives free" isn't a slogan here. It's the whole
point.
