Welcome to Freedom is our way of connecting with those whoare are new to Freedom Centre, so you feel like ' This is Home.'
We will share alight meal and meet the pastors and leaders, and connect with other people who are new!
Freedom Centre is designed for the whole family. There's lots of fun to be had at Freedom Kids where every week, our leaders pour into the next generation - raising up a generation of world changers!
Reuel and Natalie are the Pastors of Freedom Centre Te Puke, a new vibrant church plant in The Bay of Plenty.
Pastor Reuel was raised at his family church in South Africa and is a 5th generation Pastor. Pastor Natalie is a Tauranga local and grew up in the church in Mount Maunganui and up in Auckland.
Reuel & Natalie have been radically transformed by incredible encounters with Holy Spirit. They both carry a deep love for God and His people, and are extremely passionate about seeing people encounter God, lived transformed lives through the power of The Holy Spirit, and thriving in the call of God. They moved to Tauranga from Auckland 7 years ago, and have their son Ezekiel.
Gatherings at Freedom are centered around the presence of Jesus. You can expect a warm welcome, vibrant worship and a powerful message every week. Typical gatherings last 90 minutes, but if the Holy Spirit decides to move, the run sheet goes out the window.
We love to roll out the red carpet for our first time guests so make sure you fill in the form above and let us know you're coming. When you arrive, our friendly team will show you around, find a seat and make sure your time here is amazing.
Come as you are. There's no dress code at Freedom Centre, people wear a range of clothes, from slides and shorts to dresses and heels. No matter what you wear, you'll be welcomed all the same.
Presence-driven, fun and Jesus-focused.
Freedom Youth (Yrs 9-13) meet on Friday night from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Our Sunday gatherings are multi-generational and youth will fit right in on Sundays too! We also meet one hour before our monthly Encounter Nights.
Encounter nights are monthly services that usually have a guest speaker and happen on the last Sunday of every month (except Dec and Jan). These gatherings are usually extended worship and full of the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yes! We offer kids church at all of our gatherings, please come 15 minutes earlier if it's your first time so we can be sure to check your kids in and make sure you are super comfortable as a parent. It's not just kids church, we are raising a generation of world changers!
