THE VISION OF FFGCI

The vision of FFGCI is to establish a worldwide affiliation of Bible believing, Bible teaching churches dedicated to the truth of the message of God’s free offer of eternal life to anyone and everyone who believes in Jesus Christ for it.  Paul highly praised the church at Philippi for their unswerving “participation in the gospel from the first day until now” and exhorted them to continue doing so by telling them to “conduct yourselves in a manner worthy or the gospel of Christ; so that . . . I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the gospel” (Philippians 1:5, 27).  It is our hope and prayer that countless churches will soberly and sacrificially band together for God’s glorious purpose.



THE MISSION OF FFGCI

The mission of FFGCI is to establish a faithful, forceful, and effective movement of local churches united for the primary purpose of establishing and enabling the growth of institutions and ministries throughout the world which are advancing the message of God’s free offer of eternal life to everyone who simply believes in Jesus Christ alone for it.  As such, FFGCI is a cooperative effort in planting new Free Grace churches, organizing Free Grace conferences, upholding Free Grace missionaries, and supporting Free Grace schools and seminaries.



MEMBERSHIP

Membership in the Fellowship of Free Grace Churches International is available for all Free-Grace minded churches.  By joining FFGCI, a church becomes part of a growing army of churches which clearly present the message of God’s grace, and is recognized as a partner with other churches and institutions which affirm the Gree-Grace message.

Membership is available to churches who heartily agree with Free Grace Theology, and demonstrate this by their agreement with the FFGCI Statement of Faith.   Full membership for churches is sustained by a pledge of 1% of the church’s annual budget.  Funds are judiciously used to support member Bible Colleges and Seminaries in training the next generation of Free Grace leaders, and to assist in connecting and encouraging pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders in Free Grace conferences and materials.

Member churches are 'partners' with these institutions, and as such are recognized by them as churches where their graduates would be prepared to serve.  The lack of clarity in much theological higher education today makes it difficult for churches to find pastors committed to Free Grace.  FFGCI member churches will have a 'direct source' to fill their needs.
