Who we are as Greenhouse Team Members:

Just a reminder of who we are!

 

Our Mission:  We are a safe and fun place for kids to DISCOVER God.

 

Our Vision:  Through worship, teaching, and a variety of fun activities, children are exposed to God's Word and challenged to grow in their relationship with God in the most postive environment they will walk into that week.

 

Core Values:  The Greenhouse is built on four core values that act as the pillars of our children’s ministry: Safe, Fun, Teach God’s Word creatively, and intentionally build relationships. They grow in the Greenhouse through:

 

  • Relevant Environments. This means that the environment is creative, safe, and eye catching to children and parents.

  • Engaging Presentation. This means that each of our different environments have different teaching style, different music, and different events that are designed to be relevant, fun, and engaging for each child.

  • Consistent Relationships. This means that each child will be exposed to a lot of the same teachers, small group leaders, and other children which will produce excitement about coming and comfort once they arrive.

  • Biblically Focused. This means that everything that we do will be focused around teaching children biblical truths and showing them how to live out those truths as they walk through life.

  • Family Minded. This means that we try to view everything that we do as an opportunity to team up with parents in order to help you raise your child with a strong spiritual foundation and a strong moral foundation as well.

  • User Friendly. This means we want your experience to be comfortable and easy for you to enjoy.


 
Honor Code
Freedom Church
The Greenhouse
 
 


As an essential part of the Freedom Church Leadership family, you have a responsibility to develop and exhibit mature Christian behavior.  This should be the basic premise of your desire to work in a Servant/Leader position here at Freedom Church.  All Core Team Members, Leaders in all areas, and interns are asked to adhere to the Honor Code.

 

While serving the Body of Christ as a leader at Freedom, you pledge to present appropriate modesty in your appearance at all times.  In both attire and behavior, you should strive to demonstrate Biblical standards in all situations.

 

As followers of Jesus, the way we present ourselves to others is of vital importance to the way others perceive Christ.  Our conduct should never be an embarrassment to Christ, but should exemplify the best qualities of a mature believer and Servant/Leader.

 

Exemplifying the highest moral commitment, Freedom Church leaders are to maintain a disciplined life of Bible reading, prayer and fasting.  You must also try to refrain from such things as:

  profanity
  smoking or chewing tobacco, illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages

  gambling

  dishonest gain

  pornography

  Inappropriate pictures (cleavage, short length bottoms, or in a place that might cause others to think lowly of God and the church), gossip, and statuses that de-value others on social media

  the appearance of evil such as sexual immorality, living together before marriage, and all behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve and others to stumble.

 

“Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.” 1 Timothy 3:8-10

 

By providing an example in speech and action, we encourage others to grow in Christ and become Servants/Leaders themselves.  This is a way of life measured by the heart and commitment of each leader in the Freedom Church family.  We should regard it as an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction. By signing below you agree to adhere to the Ministry Description, Honor Code, Vision and Core Beliefs of Freedom Church.
