Freedom Church is an independent evangelical church and as a member of the Evangelical Alliance shares a common basis of faith together with some 2 million Evangelical Christians in the UK. We are also connected through relationship with the Christian Growth International network of churches and associated ministries. As a local church congregation we have a married couple as our Senior Leaders, p

lus a Core Team, who make the strategic leadership decisions. These are overseen by a small team of Elders who are also the legal trustees for the church as a registered charity. Leadership seeks to operate through consultation and consensus with the body of the church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

๐ŸŒŸ Volunteer Week โ€“ Today's Spotlight: Freedom Tots ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿ’™ Today, we're shining a spotlight on the amazing volunteers who have been part of the Freedom Tots story over the years.

As one of the longest-running ministries at Freedom Church, Freedom Tots has been serving families for generations. We still have grandparents who come in and tell us how they attended the toddler group when it was held in the back room! ๐Ÿ˜Š What an incredible reminder of the impact this ministry has had on our church and community.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Through the years, countless volunteers have faithfully given their time, energy, care, and encouragement to make Freedom Tots what it is today. Each generation of volunteers has passed the baton on, helping to create a welcoming place where children can play, parents and carers can connect, and friendships can grow.

๐Ÿ™Œ Today, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every volunteer, past and present. Your dedication has helped shape this ministry and create lasting memories for so many families.

๐ŸŒธ A special shout-out goes to Naomi, who faithfully volunteers her time each week, working alongside Jess to make the group supportive, impactful, and most importantly... FUN! ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽต๐Ÿซง Thank you for the love, creativity, and energy you pour into Freedom Tots week after week.

๐Ÿ’™ Freedom Tots wouldn't be what it is today without every volunteer who has played a part in its story.

๐ŸŽ‰ Here's to the next chapter of the Freedom Tots story!

Every Wednesday (Term Time) 10:00am-12pm

Our befrienders are ordinary people doing something extraordinary. They walk alongside those facing debt, isolation, and difficult circumstances, offering friendship, encouragement, practical support, and a listening ear when itโ€™s needed most.

Sometimes being a befriender looks like sharing a cup of tea, helping someone attend appointments, or simply reminding a person that they are not alone. These relationships can make a huge difference and bring hope to people during some of lifeโ€™s toughest seasons.

We are so grateful for every one of our volunteer befrienders who generously give their time, compassion, and care to support others in our community.

Thank you for all that you do! ๐Ÿ™Œ

This morning at Freedom Church, weโ€™re excited to welcome Jon Warnock to share his testimony and we believe this is one you wonโ€™t want to miss!

Plus, weโ€™ll be sharing breakfast together, so come hungry and ready for a great morning.

Jon is the Director of Football at Sporting87, a Christian football organisation thatโ€™s been on mission since 1987. Having been part of Sporting87 since 1997, Jon has seen the ministry go from strength to strength, not just growing the squads in numbers, but helping shape lives with strong Christian character and faith.
Sporting87โ€™s heart is to build character, bear witness, and keep pointing people towards Jesus, both on and off the pitch.
Jon will be sharing how they get into the community, meeting young men and women where theyโ€™re at, showing them the love of Jesus and bringing hope straight onto the front foot.

๐Ÿณ Join us for breakfast, fellowship, and an inspiring morning as we hear how God is moving through football ministry and changing lives one goal at a time! โšฝ
