Our vision is to establish a local church presence in every community around Charlotte, and our goal is to launch a total of 10 campuses to achieve this mission. Currently, we are actively seeking a location for our South Charlotte campus, which carries an estimated investment cost of $7,300,000. Encouragingly, we already have $700,000 earmarked for this project through our Kingdom Builders initiative. In our pursuit of the ideal location, we have been diligently scouting the Ballantyne, Indian Land, and Fort Mill areas. Looking ahead, we have identified several potential future locations for additional campuses, each with a comparable investment estimate of $8,000,000.

These areas include: Matthews, South Park, Gaston County, Concord, Weddington/Waxhaw, South Carolina.

Notably, we have previously received donated real estate, which we successfully transformed into our South End campus. Such generous contributions can significantly influence our decision-making process regarding campus locations, should a property be donated. Our commitment to extending our reach into local communities remains steadfast, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to pursue our mission.

Eliminating debt is a catalyst for ministry acceleration. It not only relieves financial burdens but also opens the door to a brand-new giving stream. This newfound financial flexibility empowers us to make strategic investments, such as paying for construction, renovation, and property acquisition with cash, eliminating interest payments and maximizing the impact of every dollar we have at our disposal. This approach ensures that our resources are stretched further, enabling us to carry out our mission with even greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Having a box truck at Freedom House has proven to be a significant asset to the community, providing essential support for various outreach initiatives, assisting single mothers in moving, facilitating equipment transportation, and efficiently managing everyday church errands. Our existing truck has served us well but has now accumulated nearly 400,000 miles, highlighting the urgent need for a replacement. Given the critical role this truck plays in our daily ministry operations, we are committed to acquiring a newer vehicle with lower mileage to ensure its longevity and continued service in our mission to better serve and support the community.

At Freedom House, we frequently welcome guest speakers, host ministers and missionaries, and provide housing to those who come to visit. To better serve our mission, we envision the establishment of a host property, a valuable resource that would eliminate the unnecessary expenditure on hotel bills. Instead, we would utilize our resources wisely, viewing this as an investment that would simultaneously foster equity growth.

The addition of a recording studio to our facilities holds the promise of several exciting opportunities. Firstly, it will enable us to produce in-house worship projects, eliminating the need for costly external rentals. This will not only save us resources but also grant us greater creative control. Moreover, the studio will offer increased flexibility, allowing us to ramp up our production capabilities, expand our output, and reach a broader audience. To date, we have successfully released one worship album and four albums for kids, and with the new studio, we anticipate even more music projects that will further enhance our ministry and reach.

Situated in the heart of the city is our South End campus. To enhance accessibility for everyone, we aspire to motorize the existing gate surrounding the area. This upgrade will ensure that the gate can be easily operated by all members of the community, eliminating any physical barriers and enabling convenient access for everyone, regardless of their physical strength. Our aim is to create a welcoming environment that fosters greater community engagement and participation.

We have exciting plans for The Lodge, our men’s retreat space up in the mountains. First, we intend to convert the existing barn on the property into a dedicated worship space. Additionally, we're looking to enhance the recreational aspects of the retreat by expanding and revitalizing the Lodge's pond. This project will not only add to the overall beauty of the property but also offer an excellent space for our community of men to come together, fish, and enjoy meaningful gatherings. These initiatives are aimed at making The Lodge an even more enriching and inclusive space for all who visit.

We value the men here at Freedom House and we aim to expand our accommodations at The Lodge, our men’s retreat, to better serve them. By adding more bedding facilities, we can increase the number of available beds, which in turn means we can welcome more men to our property. This expansion will enable us to provide a comfortable and inviting space for a larger community of men.

Our Missions and Outreach initiative is committed to supporting Freedom Academy, an independent 501(c)(3) organization, in their mission to provide top-notch education for children. Freedom Academy's educational approach places a strong emphasis on academic excellence, incorporating values rooted in the Bible and fostering a deep sense of patriotism. To further their vision, they aim to secure their own land and buildings, with plans to expand their reach across the city, offering parents educational options that align with their values.

Additionally, Freedom Academy is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment and community engagement. They are developing a community garden complete with irrigation systems and plant beds, fostering a sense of unity and sustainability while enriching the overall learning experience for the children they serve.

Our goal is to offer Thanksgiving turkeys to more than 1,000 Charlotte families each year, ensuring that they can enjoy a traditional and heartwarming holiday meal. Our Kingdom Builders help us reach this goal every year + allow us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities.

We have a vision for a Community Recreation and Sports Complex, a space where the community can come together to foster team building and sportsmanship. This complex will include amenities such as ball fields, soccer fields, dugouts, and basketball courts, creating a hub for active engagement and enjoyment for all.

Furthermore, we believe that sports play a crucial role in helping children stay focused and disciplined, even in the face of economic challenges and fatherless households that some young individuals may experience. The complex will not only offer a platform for physical activity and skill development but also serve as a place for mentorship and character building, making it an invaluable resource for our community.

We have a strong commitment to carrying out baptisms within the community, reaching individuals in various locations such as Uptown, drug rehab facilities, and parks. To make this mission more effective, we are seeking portable baptism equipment that includes clothing, tanks, and towels. This equipment will be easily transportable, allowing us to go wherever needed and provide the sacrament of baptism in a convenient and inclusive manner.

We have an exciting vision for an Event Warehouse that would serve as a dynamic hub for our Easter and Christmas outreaches and other life- changing events. Currently, these initiatives require extensive planning and ample space for the creation and storage of event-related items. To streamline our operations and create a more efficient process, we are considering the purchase of a warehouse.

This warehouse will not only provide storage space for event materials but also serve as a versatile event space where we can build and prepare for our various productions. The acquisition of this space will eliminate storage expenses and enhance our capacity to work on multiple events simultaneously, ultimately allowing us to deliver even more impactful and memorable experiences for our community.

In our pursuit of global outreach, we recognize the profound impact and importance of digital missions. Acknowledging that we cannot solely rely on physical presence, we understand the significance of leveraging digital platforms to spread the message of the gospel. With just a simple press of a button, individuals from diverse locations can instantly connect with the teachings and principles of the gospel.

To strengthen our digital missions capabilities, we are considering the procurement of essential equipment, including a video switcher valued at $30,000, broadcast cameras totaling $30,000, and an LED wall requiring an investment of $125,000.

These technological advancements will enable us to enhance our digital outreach and ensure that we continue to reach and connect with individuals worldwide, regardless of geographical boundaries or constraints.

We aim to provide one full year of support for our Chinese missionary allies, ensuring they have the resources and assistance needed to continue their vital mission work in China. This support is a testament to our commitment to their important efforts in spreading the message of Christ in some of the most underpreached areas in the world.

Our commitment extends to our Ugandan missionary partners, and we aspire to provide them with one full year of support. This support will enable them to continue their crucial mission work in Uganda, making a positive impact on the lives of the people they serve and teaching people the good news about Jesus.
