Early Morning Prayer: Monday-Friday 7:00-9:00 a.m.

2. What is the appropriate dress for the service?
Anything from casual to business attire is acceptable.
3. How long is the church service?
A typical Sunday morning service runs about 1½-2 hours, and our Wednesday evening services usually runs under 90 minutes.
4. How can I meet the Senior Pastor?
We host a visitor reception each Sunday morning immediately following the service where you can connect with the pastor and other leaders at Freedom.
5. What are the Clipboards that circulate during services?
We use clipboards for our attendance during corporate services. They are to be passed from front to back in each section of the sanctuary. Individual names are listed alphabetically on the sheets. Please put a check by your name when the clipboards go by. [Parents: do not mark your children present if you signed them in at the kiosk.] Pass the clipboard down the row you are in or to the row behind you if you are on the end seat. Your name will be found on the clipboard after the first Sunday you visit.
6. Can anyone express their Praise and Worship in a corporate setting through dance or use of flags?
We provide room for the expression of praise and worship in the front and sides of the sanctuary on the floor area only. This is not to draw attention to oneself, but to glorify the Lord. If you are using flags, silks, or banners please take care not to interfere with the worship of others. Be careful not to obstruct others view of the overhead or bump into anyone with a flag while worshipping. Inappropriate display or expressions of worship will not be tolerated. All individuals must submit to the correction of Pastoral Staff, ushers, or the head of our Ministry Dance Team, Deborah Nau. The stage area is for the musicians and Pastoral staff members only.
7. How do you handle Prophetic Words in a corporate setting?
For the safety of the body and guests at Freedom Christian Center all prophetic words received in a corporate setting are to be written down and handed to our Pastoral Staff, Elders or usher. It is the responsibility of our Senior Pastors and Eldership to handle the prophetic word as they deem appropriate at that time. Not all words received will be shared with the congregation at that time but are important and valuable to us. They will be reviewed by our Pastors and Eldership and prayed over.
8. What is a Generational Service?
On the first Sunday of each month we include children 5 years and up in our corporate 10 am service. The worship and sermon is focused to minister to both children and adults during these services. We encourage parents to model praise and worship before their children and to oversee them during the service. If your child becomes a distraction, please feel free to take them into the hallway until they are calm. Classrooms are available for ages 4 and younger.
9. Can children remain in corporate services other than Generation Sunday?
Parents are welcome to keep children in any of our corporate services but we request that if they become a distraction to others during the service that you take them out of the sanctuary. Some parents desire to have their children in the praise and worship time of the service and then take them to their classrooms. [Parents please sign your children in at the kiosk prior to the beginning of service if they plan on attending their class after worship.
10. I would like to be baptized, what do I need to do?
Baptism is for those who have come to a place of repentance and knowingly accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. We immerse those desiring to be baptized. We dedicate infants and young children to the Lord. We schedule baptisms throughout the year. Please call the church office for more information.
11. How do I submit a Prayer Request?
Prayer Request cards can be found in the back of chairs in the sanctuary.Completed cards can be dropped in the offering bag during service or at the front desk in the office area. All Prayer requests received are shared with our Pastoral Team, Staff, and intercessors unless designated otherwise. We format all requests according to HIPPA requirements when distributed to our intercessors. We earnestly cover all prayer requests received.
12. When do you share Communion and who can take it?
We celebrate Communion the first Sunday of each month. We use grape juice and Matzo bread for this time of reflection of our Lord’s sacrifice for us.Adults and children are invited to partake in communion. It is our desire that those receiving communion understand the Biblical reasons for receiving it. If you are a parent we ask that you explain the sacrament’s are for the purpose of remembering what our Lord, Jesus Christ has done for them on the cross of Calvary. That He died for them because of His love.
13. Are my donations to Freedom Christian Center tax deductable?
