Grace
Grace... is the foundation of our relationship with God. Not only are we saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, but as we grow spiritually, we also learn to live by grace. As Christ-followers we receive, live in, and extend God’s grace.
Grow
Grow... Christ-followers know that the grace of God which saved them is only the beginning of His work in them. They gratefully respond by actively pursuing a life-long process of spiritual growth in Christ and seek to become conformed to His image. To this end, they consistently nurture their spiritual development through PRAYER, WORSHIP, and BIBLE STUDY.
Gather

Give...  Mature Christ-followers are good stewards of their time, talents, and treasures.
Because all of life is a gift from God, all of life must come under His leadership. This includes our time, talent and treasures. To be a good steward means to use everything at our disposal wisely and well. Good stewards are generous; sharing what we have as God leads- and managing well what we keep.
* Time - Our time is a gift from God. We should return a portion of our time regularly in the area of our passions inside and outside the church.
* Talent - Freedom Christian Church is a place where one's unique talents and passions matter. They fulfill the purpose of Christ in their community by serving in areas that foster their passions. Spiritual gifts help us serve God and His kingdom. Christ followers recognize that the church is composed of interdependent members, each uniquely gifted by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of building up the body and furthering the ministry of the church. Therefore, they seek to discover, develop and deploy those God-given gifts and seek a place of service within the church, with the support and affirmation of the body.
* Treasures - Generosity is part of God's character, and it's part of His call in our lives. Only as we give away what we have been freely given, can we truly be free to experience the joy and contentment God has promised us. At FCC, we use the Biblical measure of a tithe (one tenth) as a goal to meet or even exceed in our giving. We desire to use both our time and treasures to care for the poor, to further God's work, and to build bridges between all peoples.
