Your journey toward Freedom has begun! You’ve been given life and freedom to show the world who God is in a way unique to you. Join us for a 4 week study as we figure out how we are made—our gifts, abilities, passions - and how we can live that out in everyday life.

We will explore our purpose as God defines it, get a closer look at the role of the Holy Spirit, figure out our personal make-up, and how we can live that out in a way that energizes us, revealing God to those around us!

If interested in signing up for a future session, for details or questions, please contact the church office. Cost is $10 per person. Outside "homework" will be available that will enhance your Freedom experience!
