Freedom Ridge Core Values Pt.1

I’m gonna be doing a series of posts this week about the core values of Freedom Ridge. The core values are important, because they help define who we are and how/why we do things.

Our MISSION is simply stated: love God, love people, change the world. The core values take this a step further and defines the mission.

Our first core value is …

1. everyone is welcome

When Jesus said to “love your neighbor as yourself” he didn’t put any conditions on your neighbor. People are important. We don’t want to be a church that excludes people, but we want to welcome them regardless of race, economic status, political leanings, past ghosts, current habits, wardrobe choices, station in life, etc.
