On Saturday, January 12, 2008 we launched a very important initiative at our annual Church meetng. The initiative, Total Freedom ~ No F.E.A.R. is focused on helping everyone live free and without fear! Total Freedom ~ No F.E.A.R. is focused on conquering fear in the following areas:

Finances - Financial woes keep so many people and the Church from achieving what we know that we can. Our goal is that by 2012 all of the members of Kinship, (on-line & York St. campus) will be debt free. This means that the only managable debt that anyone will have will be their homes or other equity growing vehicles. We will be using resources from Crown Financial (www.crown.org) and building small groups that will help us achieve this God honoring goal.

Education - We believe that it is important that everyone continues to grow in their education. We have set in place the "Take It Up A Level" movement that looks to see everyone advance their education for the benefit of their homes and the church. This means that everyone should or will acquire their H.S. Diploma or G.E.D. If you have one of those we want to help you gain an Associates Degree, Professional Certification, or a Bachelors degree.  For all of those with your Bachelors we are challenging you to seek a Masters degree that will benefit your family and the Church. Those of you with Masters degrees....we want to stand with you as you pursue advanced professional certification or a Phd. We believe that education is a vehicle that God can use to help us make a greater impact on our world.  

Addictions - We are set on dealing with unhealthy and destructive addictions head on. We want each person to experience the abundant life given by Christ. We will be using the "Celebrate Recovery" model that was developed by Pastor Rick Warren and Saddleback Church. It has been successfully executed by a number of churches here in Colorado. The "Celebrate Recovery" program will be infused into our SWAT program.

Relationships - We are committed to healthy homes from the start! Our Covenant Keepers Ministry has declared a "healthy from the start ~ no divorce zone" 2008-2012. We are mobilizing multiple encouragement and support small groups for couples during the various seasons of marriage. We will be using resources from our partners at Family Life (www.familylife.org).
