About FICF
About Freedom In Christ Fellowship
In 1989, Ray and Vickie Gilbert recognized their calling in life and went to school in Bradenton, Florida with Gospel Cruisade. After being under mentorship for three years, Ray and Vickie Gilbert became licensed as pastors. Freedom In Christ Fellowship (FICF) was placed under the leadership of Pastors Ray and Vickie Gilbert in 1993, after they became licensed and ordained by Freedom In Christ Fellowship.
The pastors and parishioners of Freedom In Christ Fellowship have a confident vision of faith for compassionately impacting the immediate community, Northeast Missouri, the United States and other nations as the Holy Spirit directs. Ministry to nations has continued to increase with specific involvement in several nations. The pastors believe every year will bring an unfolding expression of the freedom in Christ, a vision that includes youth and children's outreaches, food and clothing distribution, ministry to the needy, education, recreation and more with daily ministry to people in need from all walks of life.
Freedom In Christ Fellowship is a diverse congregation representing people from a variety of backgrounds, nations, races and ages. Freedom In Christ Fellowship is an autonomous, self-governing local church established on the scripture found in Galatians 5:1. Using the Book of Galatians as a blueprint, the church is structured with local ordained elders as well as apostolic relationship with other Christian leaders outside of the congregation.
Freedom In Christ Fellowship is known for its spirit of worship, prophetic preaching, generosity, faith in the goodness of God and warm Christian love. Freedom In Christ Fellowship began planting new churches in 2003 and continues with a vision that encompasses Northeast Missouri, the nation's Capital in Washington DC, other states in the United States of America, and in cities and villages around the world as the Lord leads.
