Fremont is a missional church that is called together by God to love Him and serve Him. As a missional church, Fremont desires to transform our neighborhoods, our city, and the world by creating disciples of Jesus Christ through the use of our finances, our time and our talents.
For the right leader, this is an amazing opportunity to reach the world for Christ through sharing the Gospel and shepherding the flock of Jesus
Fremont is Christ-centered and focused on sound Biblical teaching. One of our strongest current desires is to become a mission focused church. Fremont has a welcoming, loving, and faithful group of members. We provide multi-generational programs for all ages (infants, children, youth, college, seniors). We have a proven track record of over 150 years of respected partnership with the Sacramento community. Fremont has financial stability and a culture of generosity. Our members have a strong depth and diversity of professional skills. Fremont has always had strong music programs.
Fremont is known for being an excellent neighbor in East Sacramento/River Park. We have an excellent nursery school, open to the public. We have run an Upward Basketball league for the last 12 years (with over 400 children participating every year), and an Upward Volleyball league for the last 7 years (with approximately 100 children participating every year). We have a three decade relationship with a local Title I elementary school. We also partner with several ministries that assist those experiencing homelessness.
At Fremont, our mission is to create a space for people to become life-long followers of Jesus, and we relentlessly pursue His transformation of our neighborhood, our city and the world.
Fremont desires to engage our community where they are. We want to be in the world, but not of the world. We are a congregation drawn from across our city, rather than a small radius around our campus. We are a financially generous congregation and support numerous ministries across our city and the globe.
The Assistant Pastor for Mission and Evangelism leads the church in developing a vision for and teaching the mission of God which includes the creation and implementation of strategies and ministries to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and service. This person will provide vision, pastoral leadership, support, and coordination of the Mission and Evangelism ministries. In addition, this person will mobilize the Fremont congregation into increased mission and evangelism engagement with both our local and global communities. These responsibilities are accomplished primarily through collaboration with other individuals and teams.
From those who have a long history of serving in this ministry, the current philosophy is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our neighborhoods, city, and world. The church’s current statement is, “Fremont is a missional church that is called together by God to love Him and serve Him. As a missional church, Fremont desires to transform our neighborhoods, our city, and the world by creating disciples of Jesus Christ through the use of our finances, our time and our talents.”
There is a desire to shift the culture at Fremont to weave missions throughout our lives including an increased focus on serving with our time and talents versus having a congregation that is more comfortable sharing only their finances.
