History
The year 2017 marked a transformative new direction for Freedom Community Church and Crossing Community Church. In 2016, FCC and CCC had decided to pray for God's purpose and where He would lead them in the New Year. Both churches had similar demographics, consisting of members with young families, college-aged kids, and young children. They shared a passion and love for their 1.5 generation and the next generation, as they saw a cultural shift among those aged 20-45 who were drifting away from traditional rituals. Recognizing the need for the Good News of Jesus Christ, it became apparent that a focus on their 1.5 generation and subsequent generations was crucial due to the projected culture shift in their existing age groups. It is imperative to keep the Church fully engaged, safeguarding against deterrents to cultural traditions and practices while keeping the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ alive in all our lives. The goal is to ensure a joyful spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ to this generation and future generations, so that we may share God's love and power in changing lives.
The first combined outreach was a successful event, serving over 800 people with candies and foods from the Hmong community and other ethnic groups. During this event, over 200 families signed up for the Toys for Tot Christmas service, and the church distributed more than 300 toys to young children. As this was taking place, the church leaders and members' relationships grew closer, as if they were already one congregation. Through this fellowship, the leadership of both churches recognized that their mission and vision were very similar. They then sought God's guidance to discern His plan for them.
At the end of 2016, after much prayer and mentoring, they decided to merge the two churches into one, which they named Freedom Community Church. This merger combined the leadership, gifts, talents, and resources of both congregations to better serve their current generation, the next generation, and the surrounding community. This new merged church was started by 15 young core families who felt a unique calling by God to reach the lost and broken. Although the leaders had no prior experience in church planting, they trusted that God's mercy and grace would empower this body of believers to effectively proclaim the gospel in a way that resonates with the current generation.
