One church, many locations
Here at Freedom Church Worcester, we aim to connect anyone, anywhere to a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
Starting down the road in Hereford over 30 years ago, we are now a church in over 30 countries around the world! Freedom Worcester was started in 2014 as part of our 10/4 vision, to plant 10 churches in 4 years!
We are a passionate, heart and soul, growing church in the centre of Worcester. We are a non-denominational church that teaches the truth of the Bible, worships with passion and prays with audacious faith. Find out more about our beliefs here.
We have mid-week groups every other Wednesday, a lady’s group called SHE once a month and a men’s group called Barbarians once a month also. Find out what's on in our calendar here.
Our pastors
Jord and Saff Ahmed are the leaders at Freedom Church Worcester. Having first come into Freedom via the Worcester church when it launched 7 years ago, they then went on to plant Freedom churches in Kenya and Glasgow before being called back to lead Freedom Church Worcester in 2021.
Saff is an extrovert full of ideas that bring people together, she loves to teach on the Academy+ leadership course and play silly games with her sons. She will admit cheese is a way to her heart and loves finding hidden gems in charity shops. Jord is a passionate, musical, life-of-the-party Pastor. He is always up for food, football and fire (pits but also fighting them for his job).
They are a wildfire couple, who give their first and best and always punch above their weight to see the kingdom come in Worcester. They have a heart for community, having fun and inspiring greater faith in whoever they get the chance to speak to.
Our DNA
The Freedom Church DNA are the core values of our community. Like a compass, they point us towards our identity. We are committed to wholeheartedly practising and developing these principles in our own lives and as a church, as they inspire, challenge and direct us. Our DNA expresses the personality of Freedom Church Worcester: who we are, how we are called to build church and what makes us unique.
Relevant to our time
We will share an ageless message that engages the next generation and is easily understood by unchurched people. We will adapt our methods and lay down our preferences for the times and cultures we are called to reach.
Raise the next
We lovingly disciple, we release leadership, we inspire kingdom influencers and plant new churches. We share the truths and opportunities given to us, changing the world through a legacy of multiplication.
Punching above our weight
With audacious faith, we set impossible goals, take bold, confident steps and watch our God move. We are giant-killers who refuse to limit the Holy Spirit.
First and best
We will serve God and our church with all that we have, giving sacrificially to the one who gave us everything. We won’t just go through the motions or do the minimum. The best of our talents, time and resources will be used for the kingdom.
Wildfire
Expressing outwardly the work that God has done inwardly, our faith and love will not be contained. We have a contagious passion for Jesus that is raw, real, and unapologetic.
Relentless reaching
We persistently share the hope and salvation of Jesus with our family, friends and communities. We won’t stand by and be silent about the truth and love God has for this world.
Live full die empty
We are adventurers who take risks and grab life by the horns. Our joy stands in opposition to lifeless religion. Dancing and laughter mark our lives, and we are determined to release all our potential before we die.
Warrior poets
We reflect the creator by embracing and expressing creativity. The colour of our lives becoming a revolt against the mundane and ordinary. We communicate the Gospel with the life and vibrancy in which it was intended.
We will elevate
We freely give honour to everyone: women, men, all ages and all races. We reveal God’s value for each person by opening our homes and our lives. We honour leaders who serve us. We honour God when we build a culture that honours people.
Heart and soul
We take personal responsibility for the vision and unity of our church. We are committed to making God’s kingdom the central cause of our lives, no matter the cost.
Changeling
We are on a constant journey of transformation and personal freedom to become more like Jesus. We refuse to get stuck in our ways, taking individual responsibility for our learning and growth.
Everything's a gift
We intentionally celebrate and give thanks. We shake off complacency and entitlement to overflow with gratitude for God, our lives and one another. Practicing thankfulness gives us a joy that will sustain us.
