Freedom Bath+Bristol

What we believe

There is one God; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit;

In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God; we believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His constant intercession and in His imminent return;

In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruits and gifts available in the Church;

The Bible is the living word of God - infallible, authoritative and everlasting, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine;

In the existence of an evil spiritual being - the devil;

In the spiritually lost condition of all people and the essential need for the 'new birth' by faith in Jesus Christ;

In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to believers subsequent to the new birth, with the normal evidence of speaking in other tongues;

In the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and baptism by full immersion in water for all believers;

In the church being the body of Christ, and each member being an active part of a local church, fulfilling the Great Commission.

Our Vision

'To grow a Jesus revolution of Faith, Hope and Love which influences Bath & Bristol and beyond'

1. We are a church so vibrant and surprising that people are drawn to it and want to connect to Jesus, the creator of 'life in all its fullness'.

2. We are building a church that hates religion. We believe that religion kills and binds. We are passionate about seeing the name of Jesus restored in this nation as a name associated with majesty, power, life, fun and prosperity; not dullness, poverty and irrelevance.

3. We are building a church with significant influence in the arts. A church which invests in culturally relevant communication and is determined to encourage, support and facilitate those with a calling to be successful in the arts so that we can influence, impact and change our world..

4. We are building a church where the oppressed and hopeless can find Jesus and therefore restoration, revelation, healing and new beginnings. We will practically serve our communities consistently, cheerfully and with a message of hope and love!

5. We are building a church where connecting is central to everything. We connect to the house of God to see the impossible happen! We connect to Jesus because it’s all about Him!

6. We are building a church where the culture is clearly influencing every area of life. A culture which is vibrant, passionate, powerful, unreligious, audacious, fun, life changing, purpose driven and dynamic; where people don’t take themselves that seriously but take God very seriously. A culture and people saturated with the word of God.

7. We are building a church with a powerful and present revelation that nothing is impossible with Jesus in us. We are the head and not the tail and we haven’t seen anything yet! We are an unstoppable people committed to excellence.

8. We are building a church which has phenomenal music which communicates and proclaims god’s power and majesty. Music to facilitate heartfelt and passionate worship. It’s about people connecting to the presence of God.

9. We are building a church that’s all about Jesus. The power of the Holy Spirit is powerfully and tangibly present to change lives and see miracles happen. Hearts healed, bodies healed, families restored, lives transformed.

10. We are building a church where people desire to get bigger on the inside and have more revelations of God, unafraid to deal with issues and hurts, determined to live the life of freedom that Jesus has bought for us on the cross.

11. We are a people committed to empowering others to live lives to the full. Therefore, we are committed to increasing in skill and anointing as we desire to see people set free from hurts that hold them back. Every person knowing and fulfilling their calling, purpose, destiny and assignments here on earth!

12. We are building a church full of dreams and visions being released to build the church and see people connecting to Him. Our philosophy is that the best ideas haven’t been thought of yet!
