DGroups
Our Discipleship Groups meet on Sunday evenings and throughout the week at homes in and around Lincolnton. Meetings normally involve a meal together, Bible study or sermon discussion, and time spent deepening relationships and praying for one another. Check out our D-groups here.
Freedom Kids
We love children and are passionate about equipping parents and passing the faith along to the next generation! From the many children’s resources we make available for sale at our Book Nook, to the Bible studies, crafts, and games in Sunday School and Children’s Church, it’s our desire to see our kids grow to know Jesus and his Word. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
SUNDAY SCHOOL - 9:15AM
Every Sunday we offer kids Sunday School classes for ages 3 through grade 6! We use The Gospel Project curriculum, which helps all ages dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. Please check your children in at the Kid’s Check-in Desk at the bottom of the stairs before taking them upstairs to their classroom.
CHILDREN'S CHURCH - 10:30AM
Children’s Church is a place where our kids (age 3-Kindergarten) can sing songs, hear a Bible story, and play games led by a team of teachers who love them! Kids will be dismissed to Children’s Church after the pastoral prayer near the beginning of the worship service. At that time, parents can check their kids in at the Kid’s Check-in Desk where the teachers will be waiting to take them to class.
FREEDOM KIDS MIDWEEK - WEDNESDAYS AT 6:00PM
On Wednesdays from 6:00 – 7:00 pm our Freedom Kids (K-5th grade) gather for their Midweek meeting. Each week, the kids sing, learn Bible stories, and play games! Please enter through the back door (on Sycamore St.) and then check your children in at the Kid’s Check-in Desk at the bottom of the stairs. The kids will be dismissed at 8:00 at the Check-in Desk.
Freedom Students
Every Wednesday night we have a Bible study for students in grades 6-12.
We meet to study the Bible and lead students to have a proper understanding of God and the Gospel so we can send them out on mission to reach their friends.
This is a great time for our students to begin to learn who God is or to deepen their knowledge of God.
If you have any questions or would like to receive regular Student Ministry text updates, feel free to reach out to Pastor Aaron.
Location: Freedom Church, 125 E. Main St., Lincolnton
