In the Bible there is a story in John 4 of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well. She is judged and rejected by her community for her past and her mistakes. Jesus meets her and instead of condemning her, He shows her grace, love, and offers her eternal life – a place in His family. Her past, her mistakes, her imperfections didn’t scare Him away or disqualify her. 

 

When I was growing up we went to this church and it was like everyone was perfect… or at least they pretended to be. And I felt it… the pressure to be perfect, or at least pretend to be. What if church was a place that you could be imperfect and not be condemned because of it? What if it was a place for your parents or grandparents and also your local tattoo artist? What if church was a place where saints and skeptics could meet and become friends? What if it was a place where you could ask the big questions?

When we prayed about what God wanted Freedom Point Church to be, we imagined a group of people that reflected our diverse community. People who have been going to church for decades and those who just came for the first time. Freedom Point is for people who have questions about faith, or know that they aren’t finding the answers to their questions anywhere else. Freedom Point is for hungry followers of Jesus who are tired of just going to church and are ready to be the church. Freedom Point is for people who have felt rejected, judged, or have been hurt by religious people. At Freedom Point you don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to pretend. Let’s walk together as we learn to follow Jesus. This church is for you. Our vision is to make intentional disciple makers, unite diverse communities with the gospel, and launch more healthy churches that pioneer change.
