Freedom in Christ

'It is for freedom that Christ has set us free'

Christians can be held back by baggage from the past: personal and spiritual conflicts; wrong ways of thinking; sin-confess-sin-confess cycles; or simply an inability to live out what they believe. They know that Jesus meant it when He said He would set them free but somehow they don't seem to be able to connect with that truth in practice.

Freedom in Christ Ministries exists to help Christians resolve these issues by understanding the truth about their identity in Christ and the spiritual battle they are in.

Our course works by providing biblical teaching material and a proven methodology for discipleship. This consists simply of a programme of discipleship teaching in a similar format to the Alpha course (but for Christians rather than "not yet Christians"), and a process called The Steps To Freedom in Christ, during which individuals deal with conflicts from the past that have been holding them back.

If you are an individual Christian aware of unresolved spiritual conflicts or issues that you don't seem to be able to deal with, this course will help. We want to assure you that it's possible for any Christian, no matter what their background, to claim their freedom in Christ and we have some suggestions for you.

The next course will be starting on April 21st and will run until July 6th on a Monday evening, 7.30pm - 9.30pm. There is an Awayday on 14th June. 

For more information, please call Philip or Claire Davis, Course Leaders, on 01892 824900 or
