The mission of the First Evangelical Free Church of Colorado Springs is to make, mature and multiply followers of the Lord Jesus Christ among all people.

 

The motivation of First Evangelical Free Church is to be more effective in carrying out the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ. This call to action, reflected in our church mission statement, is at the heart of our core values and provides the necessary foundation for our relocation journey. Our new facility is designed to provide an optimal environment to make disciples of all ages for decades to come.  

 

Matthew 28:18-20  Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

 

• Glorifying God God created and redeemed us for His glory.  

• God’s Word As His authoritative revelation to us, the Word of God is our standard for what we believe and how we live.

• God’s Word transforms lives Because God’s Word is powerful to save and to sanctify, our ministry is Word-centered and Word-focused.

• Loving God As Creator, Savior, and Lord, we owe God our deepest love.  

• Loving People Love for others is the second greatest commandant and is characterized by a commitment to consider one another as more important than ourselves.

• Building Relationships We believe God created us to be in loving relationship with one another and in that context, we find strength, encouragement, and support to grow in our relationship with Christ.

• Local and Global Evangelism Jesus’ final command while on earth was to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.  

 

WE TRUST IN A GOD WHO…

 

Our faith is not just an emotional desire for a certain outcome, but rather is a confidence that comes from knowing God and how he works, as revealed in Scripture. As you read over these biblical promises, join in corporately believing for them to be fulfilled as we make this journey together.

 

GIVES VISION. We believe that God has given us vision to relocate and carry out the Great Commission in our new strategic location.

Matthew 28:18-20  Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

 

ANSWERS PRAYER.  We Believe that God delights in answering the prayers of His servants and wants to accomplish his goals for us.  Proverbs 15:8

 

1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

 

IS ALL POWERFUL. We believe that God delights in performing mighty acts on our behalf if we earnestly seek Him.

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

 

IS FAITHFUL. We Believe that what God has started, He will finish—not limited to his blessing of new property but continuing on to completion of our relocation.

Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

 

IS LOVE. We believe that God desires our love for Him and for one another to motivate us to work together in unity, harmony, and self-sacrifice to accomplish the goal He has set before us.

John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

 

GRANTS FAVOR.  We Believe that God will work in the hearts of all third parties involved in the project to show us favor from start to finish.

Genesis 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

 

PROVIDES. We believe that God will provide the resources we need.

Phil 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

 

GIVES WISDOM. We believe that God will make us wise in understanding His will and making Spirit-led decisions along the way.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

 

These characteristics of God enable our faith in moving forward.
