and Belief Statements
Purpose
Statement
At B-Free Church we strive to provide a welcoming and safe place to meet God, make friends and develop a solid relationship with Jesus.
Vision
Statement
It’s all about the journey. Step one: decide to fall in love with Jesus. Step two: using repentance, prayer, discipleship and bible study, we should be continually growing spiritually as individuals, families, friends and our church body. Colossians 2:6
Mission
Statement
B-Free Church encourages all to know that Jesus loves you, no matter what, and that we need to respond to His love by deciding to love Him back. Romans 5:8
Value
Statement
Our preaching, praying and praise music are all Bible based. Each Sunday’s message is part of a journey through the Bible where we examine the scriptures verse-by-verse thus we don’t avoid uncomfortable teachings or overlook something important.
Belief
Statement
The Holy Bible is the inerrant word of God. God the Father is the Supreme Creator. Jesus Christ provides salvation as a gift by grace through His sacrafice on the cross. It is incumbent upon us to decide to place our faith, hope and trust in the resurrected Jesus. The Holy Spirit is alive in all believers and He guides us, teaches us and empowers us to repent.
B-Free History
B-Free Church is the Bradford First Free Methodist Church. Ordinary people serving an extraordinary God.
We originated back in the late 1800’s. Our current sanctuary was constructed in 1924 with an addition added in 1970.
The B-Free family has a rich history of introducing Jesus to the less fortunate in our neighborhood and around the world.
