Freedom Groups
In a 1997 research study, 1,800 pastors revealed that they believed 29% of their congregation had sexual compulsive problems.
What are Freedom Groups?
Freedom Groups are Christ based support groups for men seeking sexual purity, vitality, and freedom.
How do they work?
One man impressed by the Holy Spirit to assist in helping others get freedom from being sexually driven asks Pastor Adam Demetrician to sponsor this ministry.
This point person, Tim Purcey, will be the contact person for the church. The church will refer people to the point person who feel sexually driven. Register confidentially here.
Tim Purcey will meet with those desiring help and will cover the Freedom Principles and Freedom Covenant. Once a person agrees to the principles and covenant, he is given the group location and time.
