Here at freedom we like to keep things simple, our values are clear.
Freedom has five stones they are foundation blocks upon which we have built our community. They are key to who we are and when you come into Freedom these are the things that you will experience and see The stone of LOVE.
LOVE GOD
To love God is to realise what he has done. The truth that he sent is only son to die for us so that we might know forgiveness and life in all its fullness. That he pursues us with his love because he wants to know us personally and that when we connect with him through Jesus we discover everything we need for life.
LOVE OTHERS
We are a community of believers and we want to be known for our love for each other. Freedom is a place where people are encouraged, cared for and respected. Where great lives are built and individuals are empowered. To love others is the heartbeat and culture of freedom, we want to pass this through in to our town to do the simple things like encouraging, smiling and seeing the best in people.
LOVE YOU
How can you love others if you don’t love yourself? Each of us is unique there are no two people the same. God has created you incredible, planting greatness, purpose, abilities and talents within you. We know that life may have thrown some bad things at you but we believe that God is in the business of restoration, like the master craftsman with the precious, priceless object he lovingly restores to its original beauty. To love yourself is to understand that God first loved you just as you are. To understand that you are precious, respected and valued.
HOPE
The bible says that hope deferred makes the heart sick. We never want to give up and we will always hold out hope for what we believe in and are dreaming for. To hope for is to believe, desire or trust in when we lose hope or put it off we become sick. At freedom we have hope for what we believe in, we trust in God and desire that all will know Jesus.
FAITH
Our faith is in God!
TRUTH
We hold onto the truth, what the bible says and what Jesus taught. We believe it to be true and helpful in life we build our lives from it.
UNITY
We are a community of individuals but we are together in what we believe and what we want to see. Unity is important because when God sees it he commands a blessing.
