Q: What is it? 

A: Freedom 252 is an in-depth leadership development experience that we’ve designed to be biblical, practical and transformational. (Many leaders have treated this robust and multi-faceted experience as educational/personal development with their jobs.) 

Q: Why are we doing this?  

A: Jesus has entrusted Freedom Church with some amazing leaders. We love being able to pour back into our Dream Team and community influencers. 
We want to intentionally make Jesus’ last command (developing disciples) our first priority!  

Q: Who is this for?  

A: Anyone who serves on our Dream Team or a friend of Freedom Church that wants to grow in their leadership. 

Q: Why the name 252? 

A:  Our foundational verse is Luke 2:52 “And Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man.” If even Jesus had to continually grow in these four areas (mentally, physically, relationally and spiritually) we figure this is a great growth plan for us to build upon!
