'He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. '
Our vision is for our members to FLOW like a river, and bring life everywhere they go.
We have Faith in the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit
We Love our neighbors but hate the sin
We Obey, the word of God and His instructions
We Win souls for the kingdom through service.
In order for us to FLOW and bring life everywhere that we go, we must understand our calling. At FRI we believe we are called to evangelize, equip, disciple and commission.
We must Evangelize by going out into all the world and reach those that don’t know Christ yet. We must seek out people who are in need, we must share the love of Christ with those people using our words, and we must show how God has transformed us in our actions.
We must Equip those people by instructing them with the word of God. Teaching them God’s instructions and commands and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform their lives from the inside out.
We must Disciple those people by mentoring and providing them opportunities to serve in the body of Christ and in our community. Discipleship means becoming more like Christ and understanding our call.
We must Commission people into their calling. We do this by confirming what ministry God is calling them to and position them to fulfill their purpose in life and use their gifts & talents for the glory of God.
