The Formation Pathway is a great way to connect with the people and the mission of Freedom Church. This is a simple, convenient process that will help you grow in your faith, learn about the values of the church, and make friends with others who are new to our environment.
-
SUNDAY GATHERINGS
Sunday Gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn the Bible, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Holy Spirit. It is in these ordinary moments together that we are formed to be more like Jesus.
-
BAPTISM
If you are a follower of Jesus and have yet to follow Jesus in water baptism, we encourage you to take that step. Let us connect you to our Water Baptism Class for an opportunity to talk through your new identity, your new family, and your new purpose that you have in Jesus. Our Baptism Class is usually the third Sunday of the month, and we typically do baptisms the last Sunday of each month.

VALUES 301 (COMING SOON!)
-
Community Groups are the way we gather during the week around the table to be the people of Jesus in our community. We eat together, pray for one another, and share life together. It is in these ordinary rhythms of life that we become more like Jesus.
-
WAY OF LIFE (COMING SOON!)
-
We feel that life with Freedom Church is fully realized when we live according to our values. However, our values are not automatic, we have to live into them. Life with Jesus at Freedom Church consists of a few key rhythms. Through these commitments, we are ordering our lives around Jesus’ way of life and allowing ourselves to be transformed, both as individuals and as a spiritual family. We invite you to partner with us in this life as disciples of Jesus.
BIBLE → SLOW READ THE BIBLE
The Bible isn’t just about information but transformation. Slow, reflective reading forms us to live under the Bible, not just consume it quickly.
Unhurried reading of Scripture is the way we honor the Bible as the final authority of our lives. Each week we invite you to slow read the portion(s) of the Bible we learned from during Sunday’s message.
SPIRITUAL FAMILY → COMMUNITY
Spiritual Family comes alive in the practice of community. It’s where we move beyond attendance into belonging.
Sundays are the primary day we gather as a church to worship together, learn from the Bible, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Holy Spirit.
Through Community Groups—shared meals, confession, bearing burdens, praying for each other—we believe community becomes the lived expression of what it means to be “spiritual family.”
PURPOSE → PRAYER & SERVING
Purpose is powered by prayer. Prayer keeps our desire to live on purpose God-centered rather than self-driven. We were made on purpose for a purpose, and our connection with Jesus enables us to experience that more fully.
The practice of Prayer as an expression of Purpose is how Jesus taught us to pray: the first part gets us in on God's world, and the second gets God in on our world.
We believe we are called to serve one another and serve our community. Through sacrificial love to others we are actively participating in the Kingdom of God.
FORMATION → SABBATH
Formation is often seen as “adding skills” or “getting better,” but Biblically, it's about being rooted in Jesus. Sabbath teaches trust, identity, and rest, forming character before productivity.
Sabbath is not merely “time off”, but “time with”—a practice of learning to live out of God’s presence, which forms us into people who are more like Jesus--resilient, humble, and fruitful.
GENEROSITY → ALL PRACTICES INTEGRATED
Generosity is not just financial—it’s a posture. Each practice trains generosity. They require us to create margin so we can align our priorities with God's priorities. Each practice requires margin in our time, energy, and finances.
Generosity is obedience, and an overflow of these practices—living open-handed with God and people.
