Freedom House

Freedom House is a group of ordinary people who believe that kindness can transform a city. We have two rules. Love God, Love Others, The Rest is Gravy. Love God.

Join us 10am Every Sunday Morning at 305 West Street Freedom House has been a Church, but also a Community Outreach hub since its launch nearly 20 years ago. Since then, through the development of The Kindness Project, Freedom House has a history of bringing visions to life. For example like a winter carnival for the city (seeing tens of thousands each year Pre-Covid), developing Kindness-Based El

ementary School Curriculum along with a local Superhero named Captain Kindness, helping to run and assist with a volunteer-staff for countless Brantford City partnership events like Canada Day, The Santa Clause Parade and Movies in the Downtown Square known as "Harmony Square." Freedom House's "Kindness Centre" in Downtown Brantford for many years, was a stalwart when it came to meeting the basic human needs of the most vulnerable in our city. As a Church, along with providing weekly services and programming for the congregants (representing a wide array of age groups and cultural backgrounds) Freedom House has long been a catalyst within the city when it comes to unity, partnerships and discovering creative methods to serve the city. Over the years, members of the community-service team of Freedom House have been recognized with the Ontario 150 Medallion and both the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond, and Platinum, Jubilee medals for service to the nation in the area of community development. Freedom House's community impact has been recognized on The Marilyn Denis Show, Various Canadian Christian TV Programs, and even with a TedX Talk in a partnership project with Brantford's Wilfrid Laurier University. Community Partners include both the religious and non-religious Charities and Non-Profits, and even include extensive time encouraging kindness and community intentional involvement with the local business community... one year actually being named the Downtown Brantford BIA Champions of the Year by the Business Improvement Association. At its heart, Freedom House cares for others. It's the Golden Rule. Be it someone in need of counseling, clothing or care... or an ambitious visionary looking to maximize their positive impact on the city. Our motto is, "We are just a group of ordinary people who believe that Kindness can transform a city. Love Others. The rest is gravy."

This Sunday, we're doing a baptism service, Freedom House at 10am. If you're a follower of Jesus... you should be baptized. It's an outward declaration of an inward choice.

Jesus said it himself: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16). Believe and be baptized. Not believe, then maybe get around to it eventually. He put the two side by side on purpose.

There are no hard and fast ways that Baptism "should" be. Ages, theologies and the practical bits and pieces vary from denomination to denomination. But the nature of Baptism is that it's an outward public declaration of an inward choice. We believe in full immersion as an adult. Down... then up.

There's one Biblical instance where this plays out perfectly. Philip, a traveler, gets directed onto a desert road by an angel... and then the Spirit tells him to go catch up to a chariot he sees up ahead. He runs alongside it and hears the guy inside reading out loud from Isaiah. This guy was basically the Ethiopian queen's Finance Minister... in charge of her entire treasury. Philip asks, "Do you understand what you're reading?" And the official says, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" So Philip climbs in and explains it. The official says, "Oh. OK cool. There's some water right over there. Can I be baptized right there?" So that's exactly what they did... dripping wet on the side of the road.
It was an outward, in-public expression of something that was going on inwardly.

For 2000 years it's meant people of all kinds... getting dunked in rivers, tanks, lakes, tubs, oceans, and even inflatable swimming pools. This Sunday, we're using a large metal tank.

If this is for you this Sunday... get a hold of us [email protected]
