Freedom in Christ

The award-winning Freedom In Christ Discipleship Course is a proven and effective way for churches to help Christians become fruitful disciples. It’s been used by around 200,000 people in the UK.

Read any of Paul’s letters to the churches and you’ll usually get half way through before you find instructions on how to behave. First he concentrates on what’s already been done; the “riches” we have in Christ (Ephesians 1:18). Because it’s not what we do that determines who we are – it’s who we are that determines what we do.

Our approach first helps people grasp all that happened the moment they became Christians: who we are in Christ; the truth of God’s unconditional love; why there is no condemnation; why we don’t have to languish in cycles of sin, negative thinking and hopelessness.

But good teaching on its own is not enough. Although the key to freedom is knowing the truth (John 8:32), simply telling people the truth doesn’t mean that they really know it. We also have a kind and gentle ministry process to help people repent of past sin and resist the devil. For many this “clearing out of rubbish” is the key to the teaching falling into place.
