MAKING CHURCH PLANTING SIMPLE FOR ANYONE ANYWHERE
WE OFFER THREE THINGS:
CULTURE
We know who God has called us to be, and when we live this way, He changes lives. Our strong, defined DNA fuels you in reaching people, changing lives and releasing leaders to multiply the impact.
COMMUNITY
The Firestarter community will ignite and sustain you by connecting you to friendship, inspiration and support. We become stronger leaders and make a greater impact when we care for and encourage one another.
CONTENT
Teaching, worship, creativity and more. Our digital library provides training to grow your leadership and strengthen your approach to building church. We’re also providing content that will turn up the heat when you gather.
WHO CAN APPLY?
If you’re passionate about Jesus, love Freedom Church and have a vision to gather people in your home, you’re welcome to apply to become a Firestarter.
We’re inviting applications from two groups of people:
Committed family - people who are already part of Freedom Church and have a vision to plant a Firestarter church in a specific city or community
.
Connected friends - people who have connected with Freedom Church, are aligned to our culture, vision and theology and feel a calling to start gathering people.
Interested, but not yet connected to Freedom? Why not take some time to explore our heart and vision by tuning in to our digital content. You’ll find lots of it on this website and on YouTube.
