Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty.....


Liberation Ministries endeavors to bring good news to the oppressed, to
bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those that are
physically, mentally, and spiritually captive, and to open the mental
prisons of those that are bound.
-Isaiah 61:1


        Principles of Freedom for Liberation


Life:

We are free to live in the truth that we are "fearfully and wonderfully" made.
Each person has been created in God's image—no matter the sex,gender, skin
color, affectional orientation, physical or mental ability, or culture. God
promises to provide life and that more abundantly, that we may live freely.


Worship:

We are free to worship God in  Spirit and in Truth: There is no right or wrong
way to worship and honor God. We must be willing to authentically and fully
engage in worship with all of who and what we are. God does not require that
we leave, or discredit any of ourselves in worship. Where the Spirit of the Lord
resides there is liberty.


Inclusion:

We are free to be intentionally radically inclusive, welcoming all persons. Every
person in the world is important to God.  We are members of one body in
Christ and none of us is a foreigner or an outsider. We belong to the same
human family, and Jesus is the one who unites us.


Reconciliation and Healing:

We are free to be healed from our broken-hearts and reconciled from our past.  
Whether we are oppressed, broken, abused, or misused, we have access to grace,
mercy and deliverance. The hand of God is not shortened that it cannot save,
nor the ears of God deaf that our cry for healing and reconciliation cannot be
heard.

Love:

We are free to love our brother and sister as we love ourselves. One of the most
important commandments that humanity has been offered is to love one
another. It is with this love that we can attain a peace that surpasses all
understanding.  

Pursuit of Knowledge:

We are free to live our individual truth.  Intentionally resisting the desire to  
be told what and how to think. Studying to learn and search out our own
salvation and personal relationship with God.
"Free to
Love and
Live!"
