EVERYTHING LIVES!
Ezekiel 47:9
JACKSON IS
CHOSEN. FAVORED. NOT FORGOTTEN.
At City Free, we believe God has a redemptive plan for Jackson, Michigan. Our heart is to see the city transformed by the hope of the Gospel—lives restored, families strengthened, and neighborhoods walking in the freedom only Christ brings.
IN THE UPSIDE DOWN
KINGDOM OF JESUS
We want to walk together. Friendship, kinship, and a Spirit-led oneness mark who we are. In the upside-down Kingdom of Jesus, strength is found in surrender, greatness is found in service, and freedom is found in Him.
WALKING IN THE SPIRIT
LIVING IN FREEDOM
The Gospel is not just good news to hear—it’s a new way of life to walk in. At City Free, we believe the Spirit empowers us to live free from fear, shame, and striving. Freedom in Christ means we no longer carry the weight of proving ourselves, but instead live in the joy of His presence and the power of His love. Together, we walk in step with the Spirit and carry that freedom into every corner of our city.
