Vision and Values
“At Freedom Church Chester, we believe that true freedom comes through faith in Jesus. Our vision is to see lives transformed by the gospel through planting churches.”
Our Vision:
To be a church on a mission, one which reaches the people of Chester and beyond with the love of God, and which grows through teaching the gospel, making disciples & planting more churches.
Our Values:
🤝 Being Family Together
Community and unity are part of being made in Gods image and we believe this foundational to us as Gods people
🙏 Wholeheartedly Adoring Jesus
Jesus and our focus on him is central to all we do as we “Seek first the kingdom of God”. Honest, full-hearted & spirit filled worship comes from a life of adoration
📖 Advancing The Gospel
We take seriously the call to go into the world and make Jesus known & share his “good news of great joy”, through evangelism and church planting
🌟 Living God's Truth
We seek to build on a foundation of both word & spirit. Head knowledge alone is useless without action, we believe that via Holy Spirit, what we learn from scripture must be practiced in our lives as disciples
❤️ Loving Others Generously
Loving God means loving people, regardless of differences. Seeking justice, loving mercy, walking humbly and giving generously as an act of worship to God
We Believe in:
The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
7. The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
8. The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
9. The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
10. The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
11. The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed, eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
