Purpose Statement
Reaching out to the people of the Roanoke Valley to help them find true
freedom that is found in Jesus Christ, that they might become fully devoted
followers of Him.
Who are we trying to reach?
". . . Yes, whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him
so he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him." 1
Corinthians 9:22 (LB)
Our Ministry Philosophy
- We believe that true freedom is found only in a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ
- We believe that freedom is released and exercised in passionate praise and
worship. Our worship ministry is contemporary in nature and relevant to
today's society. We are dedicated to extreme high quality and high
intensity in our worship experience, leading people into the presence and power
of God.
- We believe in allowing the Holy Spirit the freedom to move and in the
releasing of gifts of the Holy Spirit in our services. We allow the Holy
Spirit to lead at all times. We will always keep our services in Biblical
order as established in 1 Corinthians chapter fourteen.
- We believe the Word of God is the guide book for a life of freedom. It
is our source for instruction, inspiration, and correction in every area of our
lives.
- We believe an essential element to freedom is the preaching and teaching of
the Word of God in a practical way, utilizing life application messages to aid
in the growth and development of Christians towards maturity.
- We believe people should be given the freedom to respond to the preached Word
of God and the drawing power of the Holy Spirit in every service.
- We believe that interpersonal relationships are vital to the personal growth
of believers and to the overall heath of the church and we are committed to the
development of those relationships.
- We believe that freedom is released through stewardship and that stewardship
should be evident in every area of our lives. (Our time, our talent, our
treasure.)
- We believe our services should reflect the society and our target audience.
We choose to dress casual and not emphasize formal dress. We encourage
modesty at all times. We believe church should be enjoyable, never boring.
We believe church should be the best two hours of our week!
- We are thankful for tradition, but will not be limited by it. We are
committed to observing the Lord's supper on a regular basis and to the
celebrating of Water Baptism with new believers as soon as possible after
conversion.
- We believe the same freedoms benefitted to us should be available to our
children and youth. Children's and youth ministry will be of the highest
priority at The Freedom Center.
- We believe we are called to impact our community and reach out to them to
help them find the same freedoms in Jesus Christ that we have received.
- We are committed that The Freedom Center will not become a place of busy work
and burnout. For this reason we commit to concentrating our efforts on
four areas and only four areas, striving to
do them as well as possible.
