Our Purpose (Proclaim > Love > Serve >> Grow):

We exist to proclaim the freedom found in Christ, love God above all, serve others with His love, and grow as disciples who live out His commands.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life (Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬). ‭

About Us: 

We are Freedom Fellowship Church, a young church with kingdom-size objectives. We were founded in 2015 with the support of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). We cooperate with the SBC because we share their mission and vision to reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We believe in Jesus’ command to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). It is our desire as the local church to live out Christ’s mission as the church. We also take Jesus’ command to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27) as our aim.

We may be small in number, but there's more to Freedom Fellowship than meets the eye. We desire to be known as people who love Jesus and one another. We are also honest enough with ourselves to admit we are still learning and growing to be like Jesus. We are still maturing in our understanding and practice of loving God and others. We are not perfect, and we are thankful that our Lord Jesus Christ is not asking for perfection. Jesus is asking us to give up ourselves and to receive His LIFE (1 John 5:12). Jesus is asking us to take ourselves off the throne of our hearts and put Him in His rightful place (Luke 9:23-26).
