Next step 03 · Join the family
Welcome
home.
Finding the church you call home is a big decision. If you’re ready to discover what it means to be part of the Freedom family, we’d love to save you a seat.
“You are no longer strangers and foreigners… You are members of God’s family.”Ephesians 2:19
Why membership?
From attending to belonging.
Membership isn’t a club card. It’s saying, “This is my church family. I’m all in.” Here’s why it matters.
You’re family
When you follow Jesus, you become part of God’s family. Membership is how you plant roots in a local church family and call it home.
Romans 12:5“We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.”
Nobody grows alone
God designed us to grow in faith together, encouraging each other and spurring each other on, week after week.
Hebrews 10:24–25“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works… encourage one another.”
You have a part
Every member has gifts God wants to use. Membership moves you from the sidelines to making a difference with the people around you.
1 Corinthians 12:27“All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.”
You’re not on your own
As a member, you have pastors and a church family who know you, pray for you and walk with you through every season.
1 Peter 5:2“Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly.”
Our mission
Reach people to know God.
That’s why Freedom Church exists, and everything we do flows from it. We live it out through five core values we call the High Five.
Everyone reaching
Reaching up to grow in our relationship with God, and reaching out to help others take that same step of faith.
Everyone growing
Taking continual steps to become more like Jesus: getting baptized, reading the Bible, praying and living out what we learn.
Everyone serving
Saved people serve people. You were made on purpose, for a purpose, with gifts no one else has.
Everyone giving
Living open-handed, trusting God as our source and investing in what lasts forever.
Everyone connecting
Church isn’t just a place you go. It’s a family you belong to, and we grow stronger together.
