BIBLICAL TRUTH
Because of the gospel, we have been given a new life and a new path to follow. We no longer use our will to choose any path or any truth. Instead, we choose scripture. We stand by the truths of the Bible and see it as a relevant and living document for 21 st century faith and practice.
EXPERIENCING the LIVING GOD
Because of the gospel, we have been gifted with a new power. Our strength leads us to destruction and confusion. However, God is Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Encountering God involves supernatural activity. This activity awakens our spirit to the spirit of God and spiritual forces of darkness. Yet the living God of power and love in Jesus has conquered the darkness, and we can walk in the fullness of his presence and power.
TEAM-BASED OWNERSHIP
Because of the gospel, we have been invited into something bigger than ourselves. Caring for the body of Christ is the work of the priesthood of all believers. Freedom Church doesn’t have only one leader. Rather, we believe in a team of elders, deacons, and leaders who shepherd, feed, equip, and challenge our Freedom family. We take our callings seriously and work diligently for a unified body in an ever-changing world.
COMMUNITY PRESENCE
Because the gospel has done so much for us, we must do what we can for others. Jesus's disciples and church leaders are called to serve and give of themselves. Jesus put others first, and we must pursue a heart that puts others first daily. We become fully alive when Jesus empowers our time, talents, and treasure to serve with compassion our Freedom family and the diverse world around us, no matter the status, creed, race, gender, or preference.
AUTHENTICITY
Because of the gospel, we no longer walk in the shame and condemnation of the past. We are fully free! We can be our true selves with the family we always wanted. A true community challenges each other but walks the road of faith together. We can be honest about our struggles and victories and be welcomed with love and care as we walk toward Christlikeness.
