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 $8,000,000.

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

Gastonia

Concord

Weddington/Waxhaw

South Carolina

Please note that the exact property location may vary if a suitable property is donated to Freedom House. The South End campus is a great example of how donated property can be leveraged and transformed into a successful campus that serves our community today.

Eliminating debt accelerates our ministry by relieving financial stress and unlocking new giving opportunities. It gives us the flexibility to make strategic investments, like funding construction, renovations, and property purchases with cash, avoiding interest payments, and making each dollar more impactful. This approach allows our resources to go further, allowing us to fulfill our mission more efficiently and effectively.

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.

We envision exciting possibilities for The Lodge, our men’s retreat in the mountains. Our dream is to transform the existing barn into a dedicated worship space, creating a sacred place for reflection and connection. We also hope to enhance the retreat’s natural beauty by expanding and revitalizing the pond, providing a peaceful spot for fishing and meaningful gatherings. These plans will help make The Lodge an even more enriching space, where men can come together, find renewal, and build lasting community.

We envision purchasing a commercial lawn mower for the Strong Men’s Lodge to efficiently maintain our beautiful grounds. A high-quality mower will enhance the property’s appearance and improve the experience for our guests. This investment will reduce the time and labor needed for lawn care, allowing us to focus on creating a welcoming environment. A durable, commercial-grade mower will be a valuable asset, ensuring that the Lodge continues to reflect the care and attention we dedicate to every detail of the property.

We are excited to enhance the Strong Men’s Lodge by adding an obstacle and tactical course. These additions will provide opportunities for fellowship, team building, and personal growth, supporting the Lodge’s mission to strengthen men both spiritually and physically. By fostering camaraderie and promoting responsible leadership, we aim to equip men to better serve their families, communities, and faith.

Our goal is to offer Thanksgiving turkeys to more than 1,500 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 are committed to performing baptisms throughout the community, reaching people in places like Uptown, rehab centers, and parks. To make this mission more effective, we aim to get portable baptism equipment, including clothing, tanks, and towels. This will allow us to bring baptisms wherever they're needed in a convenient and inclusive way.

As we take church to the streets, we also want to purchase a portable PA system to host worship, services, and baptisms all over the city!

We have an exciting vision for an Event Warehouse that will become a vibrant hub for our Easter and Christmas outreaches, as well as other life-changing events. This space will streamline planning, offer storage, and serve as a flexible venue for our productions. By acquiring this warehouse, we’ll eliminate storage costs, work on multiple events at once, and host community gatherings like conferences, weddings, and corporate events. It will also elevate our internal events, like Authentic + Strong, while providing rental opportunities for outside organizations, expanding our impact even further.

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.

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.

We are excited to partner with Help Pregnancy Center to bring mobile ultrasound units to our community. This initiative will make life-saving resources accessible to expectant mothers, providing them with crucial support and care. Studies show that over 80% of women who see their babies through ultrasound choose life. Together with local supporters, we can make this vision a reality, offering hope and tangible support to moms in need.

We have a goal to enhance our outreach by purchasing an operating ice cream truck to connect with families and individuals throughout the city. This mobile platform will allow us to attend community events, offering sweet treats while building relationships and introducing people to our local church. As a vendor, we’ll have the opportunity to participate in various festivals, school events, neighborhood gatherings and more.

Sponsoring a Freedom House mission trip helps send someone from our church to serve and make disciples around the world. Your support covers all trip costs. Through this partnership, you help spread the gospel and make a lasting impact in communities across the globe.

Our LKN Campus is growing, and we need to create a space for community to flourish. We want to take some of the LKN Campus property (the old go cart track) and create an outdoor pavilion complete with meeting space, tables, and fire pits. This will not only create a place for people to gather and connect on Sundays, but throughout the week with their groups as well.

Freedom Academy is growing, and with growth comes the opportunity to further enhance our outdoor play space for all ages. We want to expand our existing outdoor space, build play and slide structures into our nature area, build a climbing apparatus, and expand fencing around our green space to ensure the safety of our students.

Sports are a wonderful way to engage people in community across all ages and ability levels. We would love to have a Gaga pit to play Gaga Ball, a popular youth game. Having our own pit will give us dedicated space to laugh, move and have some friendly competition among peers.

Our world is changing, and we must change the way we educate children to keep up with it. Upfitting our classrooms with new furniture and technology will make our staff as agile as possible in teaching students and giving them skills they will need in the workplace, college and in life.
