FHC Global Vision

The Goal of Freedom House Church Missions is:

To be a community of global minded believers who aggressively engage and “reach” our local ethnic communities, our cities, and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Vision:

For every member view their roles and responsibilities in light of how they are helping to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-19).  “Mission” is not a program of our church, but a common passion we all share.  We seek to not simply be a “come and see” church, but rather we strive to be a “go and tell” church.

Freedom House’s commitment to World Mission is core to who we are as a local church. We seek to join God’s purposes in calling out a people for Himself from every language, tribe, and people by Knowing, Praying, Giving, and Going.

Knowing
We seek continual understanding of what God has done in the past to bring people to Himself and what he is doing today to bring completion to the task of getting the Good News to every remaining un-reached people group. We believe that awareness of what is happening in other parts of the world is essential to understanding God’s overall plan and its relevance to our calling as believers in the 21st century.  This is understanding includes Biblical, historical, cultural, and strategic perspectives.

Praying
We pray that the “Lord of the Harvest” will continue to raise up and send laborers for the harvest of souls we believe will come into the Kingdom of God in the next few decades. Prayer for God’s work through his people is ingrained into everything we do as a local church. We also set aside special corporate times of prayer and fasting for God’s purposes to be fulfilled in our city, state, country, and the world.  We understand that “prayer is the work” and that this is the primary means that God Almighty uses to accomplishes his purposes in the Earth.

Giving
It’s our goal as a church to give at least 10% of all that comes into FHC back out to support the work of mission all over the world. As individuals, we are committed to giving generously and sacrificially over and above our tithe to see the work of the Kingdom expand and grow, especially in frontier areas of the world. We believe that like Abraham, Almighty God has blessed each one of us to be a blessing to all nations.  Our missions giving is directed primarily towards our four mission priorities.  We primarily support ministries that we have an ongoing relationship with as a church.

Going
We are committed to being active participants in the Great Commission by going out into all the world ourselves and compelling men and women to be reconciled to God on Christ’s behalf. We will do this by actively reaching out to our local communities, internationals, the poor, and the nations. By God’s grace and guidance, we as a local church will send a team overseas every year to participate in cross-cultural outreach and networking. We will also identify, equip, and send families from our church, whom sense the calling to a particular people or area of the world, to participate in long term missions work.  We only send our best families with whom we have a strong and ongoing relationship.
