You can enter through the main front doors, where someone from our welcome team will be happy to greet you and help you find your way.

What to Expect
If you’d like, plan to arrive a few minutes early to get settled before service begins. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted at the door and are welcome to grab a coffee or hot chocolate in the lobby before heading into the sanctuary.
Our Sunday service begins at 10:00 a.m. and typically lasts ~90 minutes.
If you’re visiting, you’re welcome to simply come and observe—no pressure and no expectations. We won’t ask you to stand, introduce yourself, or fill out any cards during the service. You’re free to engage as much or as little as you’d like.
If you’d like to connect, you’re always welcome to speak with the pastor or anyone from our church before or after the service—we’d be glad to meet you.
We begin with contemporary worship music, followed by announcements and prayer. During worship, some people sit, some stand, and some raise their hands in praise — feel free to participate in whatever way feels comfortable to you.
After worship, children are dismissed to Kidz Church while the rest of the congregation remains for a Bible-based message from the pastor. We usually close with one final worship song.
Our atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and relaxed — come as you are.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Some people dress up, while others come in jeans and a T-shirt. You’ll fit in either way.
No — if you’re visiting, please don’t feel any pressure to give. We’re simply glad you’re here.
Giving is one of the ways those who call Freedom home support the ministry, outreach, and day-to-day work of the church. But if you’re a guest, our hope is simply that you feel welcomed and encouraged during your visit.
Absolutely! Our Sermons page is a great place to start if you’d like to get a feel for the preaching and teaching before visiting in person.
If you’d like to see what a full Sunday service is like — including worship, announcements, and the overall atmosphere — you can also watch one of our livestreams on YouTube.
Need Prayer Before You Visit?
If there’s something on your heart, we’d be honored to pray for you. Whether you’re walking through a difficult season or simply want someone to stand with you in prayer, you can share your request with us below.
