JESUS
We are all about Jesus. We believe that there is a relationship available with God through Jesus. We believe the Bible was written by God and we can spend time with Him everyday through prayer and reading scripture. The Life Journal is a simple tool that helps keep us on the same page as a community. Have you ever looked at the Bible and said, “Ooooook… but where do I start?” The Life Journal will help you with that.
PEOPLE
Jesus is all about people. Every week we learn about how much God loves people, but its during the week that this comes to life. LifeGroups are groups that meet during the week in homes throughout the city. We eat together, pray together, and generally try to do life together. We a need hit our radar, whether its our friends, community, or neighborhood, Life Groups are the ones that mobilize quickly and help.
THE CITY
Isn’t it interesting that every time a church is mentioned in the Bible it is always addressed by the name of the CITY? We believe God placed us here to make a city-wide difference, thats why the first weekend of every month we have an initiative called Laundry Love. Where Teams meet at different Laundromats throughout the city, to put quarters in people’s machines and pay for everyone’s laundry. It absolutely incredible. We don’t preach to people, or tell them about the church, or even wear Freedom t-shirts… we just love them, NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
OUR PASTORS
Justice & Maria Coleman
Justice and Maria started Freedom Church in 2011 in their Los Angeles apartment with 7 un-churched friends and a passion to help people experience God by keeping faith UNcomplicated. To their bewilderment, God blew their small dream out of the water as our congregation began to outgrow houses and venues with people saying YES to Jesus every week. In 2012, Charisma Magazine named them one of “Top 5 Fastest Growing Churches You’ve Never Heard Of.” Freedom is recently celebrated our 2,300 baptism. Justice and Maria are both graduates of LIFE Pacific University, have three kids, 1 dogs, and only watch PG rated movies (one of those are not true.)
