Chosen Freeborn Ministries (C.F.M.) was officially founded on March 5, 2026, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. From the beginning, CFM was established with a vision to help individuals navigate life's challenges, rebuild, develop, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, hope, accountability, encouragement, and support.
CFM was built through real-life experiences, challenges, setbacks, growth, and lessons learned. The ministry understands that life does not always go according to plan — and that sometimes people need someone willing to listen, encourage them, provide guidance, offer accountability, and walk alongside them as they work toward their next step.
"Through support, accountability, encouragement, and guidance, we help people move forward."
The CFM Timeline
Chosen Freeborn Ministries Founded
On March 5, 2026, Chosen Freeborn Ministries officially began in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The founding of CFM marked the beginning of a ministry focused on supporting people through life's challenges and creating opportunities for personal, spiritual, and community growth.
From the very beginning, CFM was intended to be more than an organization that simply offers words of encouragement. The ministry was established around the importance of support, accountability, guidance, compassion, personal development, mentorship, service, and meaningful community involvement.
Creation of CFM Services
On March 8, 2026, CFM began developing its services. This was an important early step in turning the ministry's vision into practical areas of service. CFM began identifying ways it could provide meaningful support to individuals and communities while creating opportunities for encouragement, development, mentorship, guidance, and service.
The creation of these services represented the beginning of turning CFM's purpose into practical ministry work. As the ministry continues to grow, its services will continue to develop based on the needs of the people and communities it seeks to serve.
Ministry Bible Verse Selected
On March 10, 2026, CFM selected its ministry Bible verse. This became an important part of establishing the spiritual identity of Chosen Freeborn Ministries. Christian faith and Scripture are important parts of CFM's foundation and help guide the ministry's values, purpose, and approach to serving others.
The ministry seeks to allow faith to influence not only what it believes, but also how it treats people, approaches service, and responds to the needs of its community.
Social Media Creation
On March 15, 2026, CFM began establishing its social media presence. This provided the ministry with another way to communicate its message, share encouragement, provide ministry updates, connect with individuals, and make information about CFM more accessible.
Through its online presence, CFM could begin sharing content focused on faith, personal growth, encouragement, service, and moving forward through difficult seasons.
Organizational Status Established
On April 5, 2026, CFM established its organizational status. As the ministry continued to develop, greater attention was placed on creating an organized foundation for its operations, responsibilities, services, leadership, and future direction.
This was an important part of moving CFM from its earliest stage as a new ministry toward a more structured organization. The process of development also helped CFM better understand the importance of having clear responsibilities, organized services, proper leadership, and a foundation capable of supporting future growth.
Website Created
On April 15, 2026, Chosen Freeborn Ministries established its website. The website became an official online home for CFM and provided a central place where people could learn about the ministry and its purpose.
The website allows CFM to communicate information about its mission, vision, history, services, programs, leadership, ministry opportunities, community involvement, and future direction. As CFM continues to grow, its website will continue developing alongside the ministry.
Temporary Closure
On July 20, 2026, CFM temporarily closed. Although this was a pause in the ministry's operations, it became an important part of CFM's history and development.
The temporary closure provided an opportunity to step back, reflect, evaluate the ministry's direction, and consider what needed to change before moving forward. CFM recognizes that growth is not always about constantly doing more. Sometimes growth requires taking a step back, evaluating what has been built, recognizing areas that need improvement, and preparing for the next chapter.
CFM Reopened
On August 2, 2026, Chosen Freeborn Ministries officially reopened. The reopening marked a new chapter in CFM's development and represented a renewed commitment to continuing the ministry's purpose.
After taking time to reflect and evaluate its direction, CFM returned with a continued focus on building its services, strengthening its foundation, and preparing for future ministry opportunities. The reopening also reflects an important principle that CFM seeks to communicate to the people it serves: a setback, pause, or difficult season does not have to become a permanent ending.
Major Organizational Development
On August 5, 2026, CFM entered another significant stage of development as major organizational changes were made. The ministry continued evaluating how it could become more organized, effective, and prepared for future growth.
As part of this process, CFM continued developing its organizational structure, leadership responsibilities, services, programs, administrative operations, volunteer opportunities, and future plans. CFM recognizes that an organization does not remain exactly the same throughout its journey — as needs change and the ministry grows, its structure may also need to change.
Growing Slowly, Building Stronger
On August 11, 2026, Chosen Freeborn Ministries continued into another stage of development: growing slowly and intentionally. CFM recognizes that meaningful organizations are not built overnight. The ministry is not focused simply on becoming larger as quickly as possible — instead, CFM is focused on establishing a strong foundation that can support the ministry as it continues to grow.
At this stage, CFM continued developing its organizational structure, services, programs, online presence, community relationships, volunteer opportunities, and ministry operations. Slow growth is still growth.
Charter of Ministry Received
On August 13, 2026, Chosen Freeborn Ministries reached a major milestone. C.F.M. received its Charter of Ministry from the National Association of Christian Ministers, LC (NACM), and was officially recognized by NACM.
This was an important moment in CFM's early history and represented another step in establishing the ministry's foundation. What began as a vision continued becoming a ministry. This recognition represents another chapter in CFM's ongoing development and strengthens the story of a ministry that continues to build its foundation one step at a time.
What Our History Represents
The history of Chosen Freeborn Ministries is a story of development, perseverance, learning, reflection, restructuring, continued growth, and forward movement. From the beginning, CFM has experienced different seasons — periods of building, moments of change, a temporary closure, a reopening, organizational development, continued growth, and now an important milestone through the receipt of its Charter of Ministry from NACM.
Each stage has contributed to the ministry's foundation. CFM understands that challenges and setbacks can provide opportunities to learn and improve. The ministry's own development demonstrates that a difficult season does not have to determine what comes next.
A setback does not have to be the end of the story.
Our Guiding Principle
Progress, Not Perfection.
There may be setbacks. There may be difficult seasons. There may be moments when progress feels slow. But a difficult chapter does not have to be the end of the story.
We encourage people to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
