In the Bible, Honor means to esteem, value, or have great respect; this is what we know as "Heaven's Value." At Freedom House, we believe heaven's value should be applied to everyone, just as Jesus saw fit to value our lives by giving up His.

When we give Jesus Christ His rightful place as Lord of our lives, His lordship will be expressed in how we serve others. We learn to serve from Jesus, and He served because he loved, so we serve because we love. Love drives our servanthood.

Everything we do, we do with excellence as we are doing it for the Lord. We work in the Kingdom, and our boss is the Creator of the Universe. Everything He did was perfect, so we strive to do everything with excellence.

We don't fake it until we make it. We are all imperfect beings who understand that we fall and make mistakes. We do life together and encourage each other, and we live in freedom because we are authentic.

Our mission statement is “A Place of Freedom for Everyone.” The Pharisees wanted to cast stones on the woman caught in adultery, but Jesus wanted to set her free. We cast freedom, not stones. Freedom promotes and maintains a healthy church community.

We responsibly manage the gifts and resources God has given us to expand His kingdom. We multiply the talents God has given us by being good stewards.

Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples; for three years, He empowered the disciples so that they could be ready to advance the Kingdom of God. Empowerment is still active today, and we will be a church that empowers the next generation of leaders to continue advancing the Kingdom of God.

Accountability is the willingness to accept responsibility, we all make mistakes whether that’s in our spiritual walk or while we serve.  With accountability, mistakes are not hidden, blame is not shifted, and trust is not lost. Mistakes are owned and corrected.

Unity doesn’t mean we always agree, but it means we choose honor, humility, and one vision over division. We refuse gossip, offense, or anything that sows discord. We walk in one spirit, one mission, and one heart.

We celebrate people, progress, and the presence of God.

In a culture where negativity is loud, we choose to be loud about gratitude, growth, and God’s goodness. We intentionally celebrate wins—big and small—in our teams, our church, and our personal lives. We rejoice with those who rejoice, and we honor what God is doing in and through every person.
