Freedom Groups gather for 12 weeks to discuss the Freedom Small Group curriculum, which is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ to help you embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, your past, your sin, your personal value to God, and your purpose in His Kingdom. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.

JOIN A GROUP
The curriculum we use comes from Pastor Chris Hodges out of Church of the Highlands in Alabama.
(You will recognize Pastor Chris from 21 Days of Prayer!)

The Freedom Curriculum focuses on 6 areas of personal growth

LIVING IN THE TREE OF LIFE

God never wanted us to pursue dead religion, rather His heart is for us to know Him personally and live in our true identity as His children. You will learn what it means to live in the “Tree of Life” and how a simple but powerful perspective shift can impact every area of your life

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

The Bible talks about the Spirit-led life, but this kind of living can feel hard to reach. Through Freedom, you will learn the principles of spiritual order and how feeding your spirit over your emotions and flesh is key to walking in the Spirit.

SURRENDERING TO JESUS

God calls us to love and serve Him above all else, and when we do, we see how we can grow in our purpose, live forgiven and forgive others, and receive His blessings. Freedom will help you learn how to surrender to Jesus and live in freedom daily.

SPEAKING WORDS OF LIFE

Our words have power, and by learning to speak words of life that line up with God’s Word, your words can change your environment and relationships and break the power of the enemy’s words in your life.

BECOMING A VESSEL GOD CAN USE

God has a unique plan and purpose for our lives, but we also have an enemy who is trying to keep us from fulfilling this purpose. In your Freedom Group, you will learn how to stand in the authority of Jesus to overcome sin and the enemy’s schemes as you allow God to use your life for His glory.

LIVING AS A WORSHIPPER

We all worship something. Freedom will help you learn how to daily direct your worship to God and discover how it can influence the heart of everything you do.

TESTIMONIES

"This was probably the best study I have ever done, and is for sure the best thing I have ever done for my spiritual life."
 -Dorcas Murrell


"I’ll be honest, I was a bit uncomfortable joining the group, not really knowing what I was getting into, but I trusted our pastoral staff’s recommendation and sure couldn’t help but ask myself, “Why wouldn’t I want more freedom?”!  I was happy to see that the teachings come through a familiar face to us from our 21 Days of Prayer, Chris Hodges, senior pastor of Church of the Highlands and I’m very thankful that Danny and I were able to go through it together, as it has deepened our relationship as well.

From the experience, I have come to rely and appreciate even more, the work of Holy Spirit through the Word of God.  I have a more foundational understanding that Holy Spirit is the One who does the work of renewal inside of me, helping me untangle thoughts and emotions that are not of God and replace them with His.  He is the One who breaks the power of canceled sin and sets me free.  He is the One who delivers me from the slavery of my habits and heals me.  He is the One living inside of me, leading me, guiding me, healing me, and loving me into a deeper relationship with our magnificent God.  To know Him is to love Him and this experience has helped me love Our God even more."
- Kim DeYoung

"Freedom Group helped me find freedom not only individually, but also within my marriage. I met with the Lord in powerful ways throughout the 12 weeks!" -Austin Spacht

"Freedom Group challenged me in the best way. It forced me to come face to face with the things that were keeping me from deeper intimacy with the Lord. Even though there were uncomfortable moments, the Lord was so faithful in meeting me in each and every moment." - Maddi Spacht

"Before, I struggled with daily existence from a huge recurrence of severe depression. I didn’t care much if I woke up or not. Multiple losses overwhelmed my soul and consumed my mindset and I was at the point that I was questioning my salvation, His love, and life’s meaning. I have struggled physically for several years and it started to take a toll on my brain’s ability to focus and complete tasks.

The freedom study does for the soul what a physical does for an individual. The Holy Spirit and I had a detailed look at my perceptions, my thoughts and emotions involving those several losses, but especially the one of a broken relationship that crushed me. Gently and faithfully the Spirit and I came to an ultimate place of surrender and peace especially forgiveness with my self.

Though there is no change in my circumstances or health,  my peace remains and joy has been made abundant. A desire to live has returned and a ferocity to stay close to Him is intense . Giving grace to myself and others is simple and being able to hear His voice comforts me. I’m so thankful for what God has done for me through this study and that He answered my cries for help." -Janet Crawford

I was not expecting The 12 week Freedom group experience to make such an impact on my life. Each week's lesson built upon the previous week, and it brought to light areas in my life in which I still needed a deeper sense of freedom.

One specific area was that of damaging words spoken over me as a child. These words became a sounding board over my life and have impacted the way in which I think about myself. Words like worthless, stupid, you will never amount to anything! They caused me to feel self conscious, which has made me struggle with many insecurities and a lack of self worth. Freedom Group has not only allowed me to open up about these struggles in a safe and secure environment, but has also taught me that God is able to redeem those areas in my life for His honor and glory.  Those areas CAN have a negative impact on my life, but through the freedom found in and through Christ, they can also be a great testimony to the power and grace of God."
- Hector Chaparro

What stood out to me most was the use of scripture to combat the enemy. It’s such a simple tool, but it’s not something I think most people use on a daily basis. I also liked that the curriculum really challenged our preconceived notions or thoughts on who God is. It really helps you to be rewired and transformed in the rooted word of God." - Kyle Lamb
