Freedom in Christ

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

The Freedom in Christ Ministry is all about freeing God’s
people to be growing, fruitful disciples. Many Christians are “stuck.” They may
have started out well, but something happened on the road to growth and
fruitful service in Christ. Rather than flourishing in a fertile garden they
find themselves alone by the side of the road or in a rut or a ditch –  unable,
unwilling or unmotivated to grow. They may still come to church, but living a
life of freedom, joy, victory and service for Christ seems like a distant
dream.

No one enjoys being spiritually “stuck.” Everyone wants their
life to be useful and fruitful. Christian leaders yearn to see their people
growing strong in Christ, fruitfully serving the needs of the church and the
community. They know that Christ is the answer and that truth sets us free, but
how does that happen?

Freedom in Christ helps people understand who they are in
Christ and who Christ is in them. At Pleasant Valley Church, the following
opportunities are available for experiencing this freedom:

• An eight-week discipleship course for up to four  people
• A small group video-driven Bible study
• A one-on-one personal appointment with an  encourager who leads the participant through seven steps to gain freedom from areas  in which they feel “stuck.”
