It is the heart’s desire of Dr. Michael Freeman, Pastor of SOFCC, to help members attain a better economic position. Believing that “What Christians are buying, Christians should be supplying,” the I.C.E.. Business Network was formed. |

The purpose of I.C.E. is to teach business owners and entrepreneurs how Christians should operate their businesses, using practical applications of Biblical principals. Operating business with integrity, character and excellence is key to having satisfied customers which results not only in repeat business but having those satisfied customers help grow your business by word-of-mouth advertising.
Business owners are provided a professional venue to network, strategize and gain vital information in order to be productive and competitive in today’s ever increasing business community. By adhering to our purpose, I.C.E. becomes an integral link in contributing to and assisting the vision which God has called our Pastor to carry out in the earth realm.
In the Old Testament, we see an example of Priests and Kings. The Priests were anointed by God to handle spiritual matters and were given the vision. Kings, on the other hand, were anointed by God to handle matters in the physical realm and brought in the provision. Revelations 1:6 states that Jesus has "made us kings and priests unto God." I.C.E., therefore, is a modern day fulfillment of this scriptural example, where both anointings fulfill their responsibility and come together in partnership. One to give the vision (Priests) and one to bring in the provision (Kings). When this is accomplished, we fulfill our mission to glorify God in the marketplace by doing business with integrity, character and excellence and coming into partnership with the God-given vision given to our Pastor to bring in the provision for the work of the ministry.
