Who are we?
NFF is a new church started in January of 2002. We are a body of believers committed to worshipping and serving Jesus Christ. We are a smaller church, but our reach is all around Tulsa, and the world.Our purpose statement is more than just a catchy phrase. We hope that it gives you insight into just who we are and what we feel God wants us to be: "Sharing New Freedom Through Faith In Jesus Christ!"
Christ reached out to people of all ages and backgrounds and at our church we desire to do the same. That is why you will discover here ministries geared to various life stages and needs. That is why we have a place for everyone to study the Scriptures, fellowship together, and minister to others through service opportunities. We are a body committed to serving Christ by showing the love He displayed to us to others.
NFF also reaches the world through various missions organizations, including the fact we are the sponsoring church for The Aquila Project which trains Pastors in limited-access countries.
What are we?
If you want to be technical, we are a Southern Baptist Church, with a revival spirit. We follow the organizational model of "elder-led congregationalism" which means our church is run by elders, layleaders, and teachers.
