FreedomRidge … Coming Soon

Our first official Sunday service will be on January 18 at 10 a.m.  We”ll be meeting in the Ames Middle School (click here if you need directions).  Our service will start at 10 a.m. and will last approximately 65 minutes.  I’m excited to finally get started with Sunday mornings.  We’ve got a lot of big dream and plans which will take time to implement, but I am confident we can begin right away making a difference in people’s lives and this community.  And that is why we’re here.  If you are reading this and you don’t go to church anywhere, I want to invite you to come see us.  I’m pretty sure you’ll like us.  If you are reading this and you already go to church somewhere, please pray for us.

Have a Happy New Year!

Our Radio Ads

We are advertising on 105.1 in Ames leading up to and past our launch.  We have 3 different ads that are playing for a total of 4 times a day, 7 days a week, for several weeks.  They are only 15 seconds long, but are designed to get the word out about us and drive people to our website.  We have them on our youtube channel (go here to see it), or you can listen to them here.

Have You Seen Our Billboard?

Our billboard is located on Duff Avenue in front of the Super Wal-Mart.  We have the north side in December, then in January it will be on the south side.  If you drive by and see it, let me know!

What does “Never Church As Usual” mean?

In some of our advertising and publicity we use the phrase “never church as usual” as our slogan.  People ask or wonder aloud, “What does that mean?”  Well, here’s what it means.

It means we’re not doing church they way it has been done the past 200 years. We have a very distinctive “now” feel and are a church for people who don’t like church. We’re definitely not your stereotypical church. We don’t have a dress code (other than you MUST wear clothes!), and  you’ll always hear real life lessons from the Bible in understandable words enhanced with videos, humor, Q&A’s and more! We’re not tied down with traditions, order of services, or denominational affiliations.

If you like church with the “same ‘ole same ‘ole”, then Freedom Ridge is probably not for you.  Not everyone will like us, but that’s OK.  If you like church that does things a little differently, then you might have just found yourself a church home.
