At the age of 17, I (Matt) ran from the church. My brothers and I had experienced an unforeseen divorce and instead of turning to God with my pain, I tried to figure it out on my own. I used this as an excuse to do whatever I wanted, when I wanted. The next 5 years of my life was spent creating a cycle of inconsistency in my emotions, my relationships with others, and ultimately my ability to find hope. I found myself desperately searching everywhere for freedom from the chaos I had created in my life. It wasn’t until I surrendered my life to Jesus that I experienced a freedom that did not ever go away. It was a freedom from not only the things that I had done but also the shame and guilt that came along with them. We want EVERYONE to experience the freedom that Jesus offers to anyone who calls upon his name & chooses to follow him.
I did not just stumble across this relationship with Christ on my own - a new church plant in my hometown welcomed me into a place that allowed me to be accepted as I was, taught through biblical truths, and challenged to grow to be more like Jesus & less like myself. Our desire is to be that place for someone else, right here in North County.
When a new church is starting it comes with a lot of opportunities for God to raise up leaders for His Glory. People who may have been sitting the bench or just going through the motions may find themselves being challenged to grow and develop into a leader. In Jesus’s ministry He chose some people who weren’t exactly leadership material and invested in them. By the time the church really began to form, those same guys who weren’t ideal candidates were now turning the world upside down! We believe that starting this new church is an opportunity to raise up and develop new leaders who can help change one person’s world at a time. Are you one of these new leaders? We’d love to get to know you!
Yes! You're exactly who we're starting this church for. Our desire is to make it easy for all people to come to church & find true freedom in Jesus. We love people with no church background as well as Christians who are looking to grow.
In the Bible there is a story in John 4 of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well. She is judged and rejected by her community for her past and her mistakes. Jesus meets her and instead of condemning her, He shows her grace, love, and offers her eternal life – a place in His family. Her past, her mistakes, her imperfections didn’t scare Him away or disqualify her.
When I was growing up we went to this church and it was like everyone was perfect… or at least they pretended to be. And I felt it… the pressure to be perfect, or at least pretend to be. What if church was a place that you could be imperfect and not be condemned because of it? What if it was a place for your parents or grandparents and also your local tattoo artist? What if church was a place where saints and skeptics could meet and become friends? What if it was a place where you could ask the big questions?
When we prayed about what God wanted Freedom Point Church to be, we imagined a group of people that reflected our diverse community. People who have been going to church for decades and those who just came for the first time. Freedom Point is for people who have questions about faith, or know that they aren’t finding the answers to their questions anywhere else. Freedom Point is for hungry followers of Jesus who are tired of just going to church and are ready to be the church. Freedom Point is for people who have felt rejected, judged, or have been hurt by religious people. At Freedom Point you don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to pretend. Let’s walk together as we learn to follow Jesus. This church is for you. Our vision is to make intentional disciple makers, unite diverse communities with the gospel, and launch more healthy churches that pioneer change.
As a church that is committed to following Jesus, we want to carry out the mission He left to His followers. To make disciples.
A disciple of Jesus is someone who learns the words of Jesus so they can practice the way of Jesus and attempt the works of Jesus.
