What is a Freedom Group?
A Freedom Group is focused on powerful, group-based Biblical counseling. It is designed to fill a gap between the everyday care that is given in community groups and formal counseling. As a church, we know that sometimes needs come up that go deeper than can be worked out in community groups. Freedom Groups help target sin struggles, while instilling the habit and discipline of having regular communication with God, and going to Him early and often when troubling circumstances happen. This group is also designed to help participants embrace deep discipleship through peer interaction targeting the heart.
Who are Freedom Groups for?
Well, honestly, everyone could benefit from Freedom Groups as they are a tool meant to lead people on from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity! But specifically speaking, I have highlighted below the type of person that would greatly benefit from Freedom Group involvement:
Those stuck in sin patterns
Those who do not know how to walk out repentance
Those who are mourning, in pain, or enduring trial
Those who are wandering in their faith
Those who simply want to grow on to spiritual maturity in Christ
As you can see, everyone could benefit in some way from Freedom Groups, but our hope is that Freedom Groups can be a space that points to the mission that Jesus fulfilled by bringing good news and healing to the afflicted, binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners. (Isaiah 61:1)
Freedom Groups will meet Monday evenings starting September 9, 2024 at 6:30pm and will run for a total of 13 weeks. Each session is 2 hours and consists of a teaching segment and time to break off into table groups.
For more details or questions, please email Brett at brett@mychristchurch.org. Please know that we have limited space for Freedom Groups. Do not be discouraged if you cannot be a part of this round as this is an opportunity that we hope to provide again in the near future. Thank you all and God bless you!
