We all come to church from different backgrounds. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for a long time or this is all new to you, we’re all “finding freedom in Jesus Christ.”
Though every person’s journey is unique, we follow a similar process for connecting with God and others. Here’s how to get started:
Step 1:
Say Yes
The whole point of Christianity is to regain what was lost in the Garden of Eden, the relationship between God and man. God loves each of us and wants to welcome us into his family. We just need to say “yes”. If you’re curious about what that means, here are some steps to take:
1) Every Sunday morning, we have a team of people available to help you start your journey with Jesus. They will pray with you, give you a Bible, and share some other resources that will help you get started.
2) Water Baptism – Being baptized is a powerful, spiritual moment where we leave our old life behind and begin our new life. To find out more information, click here.
Step 2:
Get Connected
Once we’ve given our lives to Jesus, he begins the process of transforming us into his own image (Romans 8:29). This process involves breaking away from our old lifestyles and perspectives and growing into the new life that God has for us. We can’t do it alone. Here are some opportunities to connect with other believers who are on the same journey:

Freedom Class: Freedom Class is a 12 week small group experience focused on three essential elements of living in the freedom that Jesus died to give us:
-Viewing God from the proper perspective
-Identifying things in your life that are holding you back
-Allowing the Holy Spirit to bring healing and empowerment to live free

Step 3:
Get Involved
Regardless of how far you are in our spiritual journey, there is a place for you at Freedom Life. Our FLC family is passionate about serving each other and our communities, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods. Here are some great ways to make a difference:
FLC doesn’t have traditional “church membership” because we don’t see it modeled anywhere in the Bible. In the early church, believers showed that they were “ALL IN” by their actions, and we believe the same is true today. Instead of signing a piece of paper, we encourage you to get involved in what God is doing here in the following ways:
Time and time again, we’ve seen people, that do these four things, grow steadily and consistently over time. Deep roots bring significant growth. We would love for you to grow with us here at FLC!
