join us this fall for learn to group
Because community, connection, and discipleship don’t happen by accident.
Learn together. Practice together. Grow together. Do what’s next together.
THE PURPOSE
To learn how to be the church together—growing in community, connection, and discipleship, so that our transformed lives engage the world for Christ.
Following Jesus is intentional. We become more like Him as we learn, practice, and grow together. But the culture we live in and the busyness of our lives can easily pull us away from one another.
We need one another—and we need to learn how to do community well.
That’s why Learn to Group is an invitation to develop the healthy habits and rhythms of life as a disciple, together.
WHAT WE WILL DO
This is an invitation to develop the healthy habits and rhythms of the life of a disciple.

WHO THIS IS FOR
those who want to learn to lead or sharpen their leadership skills.
those who want to grow in their connection to the body of Christ.
those who want to build community into their lives and “do life” with other believers.
those who want to be discipled and develop the ability to disciple others.
THE END GAME
We want to develop a core group of people at Freedom Church who are committed to being discipled and making themselves available to disciple others.
Then, in the new year, our hope is to broaden into groups of different days, times, affinities, and topics—all sharing the same core DNA.
The goal is to have 100% of the people who call Freedom their church home being part of a disciple-making community.
