TUESDAYS | 6-8 PM

Find Freedom. Experience Healing. Grow in Christ.

Everyone has something they're carrying. Past hurts. Present struggles. Questions. Anxiety. Addiction. Shame. Broken relationships. Or maybe you simply want to grow deeper in your walk with Jesus.

 

Freedom Nights is a 12-week, Christ-centered ministry designed to help people experience healing, spiritual growth, and authentic community. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you'll find a welcoming place to pursue the freedom, hope, and transformation that only Christ can provide.

 

Whether you're taking your first step or continuing your journey, you're invited to come as you are.

 

Our Mission

Freedom Nights exists for anyone who feels stuck and wants freedom, healing, and a breakthrough in their relationship with God.

​

Through biblical teaching, meaningful relationships, and intentional discipleship, we help people experience lasting transformation as they grow closer to Jesus.

​

A New Season

After much prayer and seeking God's direction, Connect Church STL is entering an exciting new chapter.

​

We are incredibly thankful for everything God accomplished through Celebrate Recovery—the lives restored, hearts healed, and stories of redemption that point to His incredible grace.

​

CR was the foundation. Freedom Nights is the house we are building on top of it. We aren't tearing down the foundation; we are stepping into the next room.

​

The mission remains the same: helping people find healing and freedom through Jesus Christ.

​

We're grateful for what God has done, and we're excited for what He will continue to do.

​

What to Expect

Every Tuesday evening includes:

• Corporate prayer

• Worship

• A practical, Christ-centered message

• Gender-specific discussion-based Freedom Groups (small groups)

• Coffee and snacks

 

Each week is intentionally designed to help you grow spiritually while building authentic relationships with others who are pursuing Christ together.

Freedom Groups

When you register, you'll be placed into a gender-specific Freedom Group that you'll attend each week throughout the semester. This consistency allows relationships, trust, and accountability to grow over the course of the 12 weeks.

Your assigned room and group information will be provided before the semester begins.

​

Freedom Kids

Childcare is available for babies through 5th grade.

​

Our Freedom Kids ministry follows the same weekly themes and biblical truths as the adult experience through an age-appropriate curriculum designed specifically for children. While you grow in your faith, your children will be learning and growing alongside you.
