History & Conception
The year of 2017, marked a transformation in a new direction for Freedom Community Church (FCC) and Crossing Community Church (CCC). In 2016, FCC and CCC decided to pray for God’s purpose and where He would lead them for the New Year. Both FCC and CCC had similar demographics. The church consisted of members that had young families with college aged kids and young children. They had the same passion and love for their 1.5 generation and the next generation because they saw the culture shift in the age of 20 to 45, that were drifting away from their traditions and practice of old traditional rituals. They both saw the need for the Good News of Jesus Christ. Considering the member dynamics, it became apparent and pertinent that there is a focus around our 1.5 generation and the generations to follow due to the projected culture shift in our existing age groups. It is imperative that we keep The Church fully engaged to safeguard deterrents to cultural traditions and practices, while keeping The Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ alive in all of our lives. We want to ensure cheerful spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ to this generation and future generations to come. As a result, we wanted to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to this generation and the next generation to come, so we can share God’s love and His power in changing lives.
The first combined outreach was a success in serving over 800 people with candies and foods from the Hmong community and other ethnic groups. During this event there were over 200 families signed up for Toys for Tot for Christmas service and gave out over 300 toys to little children. While all of this was going on, both church leaders and members’ relationship grew with one another like they were already one church. Through this fellowship, both leadership of the church realized that the mission and vision of the two churches were very similar. They then asked God for guidance to discern for His plan for them.
At the end of 2016, through prayer and mentoring, they decided to merge as one church under the name Freedom Community Church. This merge combined the leadership, gifts, talents, and treasure in serving their generation, the next generation to come, and the community. This new merge has a unique calling by God, started by 15 young core families with a passion for the lost and broken. Though the leaders had no experience about church planting, God is merciful and full of grace to use this body of people to pave the way for the gospel to be heard in relevant form for the current generation.
Vision:
To be a church filled with the love of Christ; cheerfully building God’s Kingdom
for the next generation to come.
