At Freedom Worship Center, we believe in the priesthood of all believers as referenced in 2 Peter 2:9
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
In the Body of Christ and His Church, there should be no Big I's and Little You's. All believers should recognize that God has given them special gifts and abilities that can greatly benefit the Body of Christ. However, we also recognize that God calls some individuals be it man or woman to lead and build up his people. These individuals have been called many things over the centuries with titles like: priest, clergy, ministers, reverends, elders, and pastors. Some have even taken on other biblical titles such as Apostle, Prophet, and Evangelist.
Although the leaders at Freedom Worship Center answer to the title "pastor", we prefer to think of ourselves as servants, and serving the people of God is what we are called to do. This is so that we can prepare God's people for works of service as outlined in Ephesians 4
Ephesians 4:11-12 "Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ." (NLT)
We are honored to serve you, please let us know how we can do this better.
