Who are we???
We are a new church launching 1st March 2026!
We are passionate and expressive, and believe the gospel is alive and relevant to us all today. We believe God has put purpose within each of us and we are excited to journey together to explore more of who God is, discovering our identity in him and allowing him to transform our lives. As followers of Jesus, we believe we are called to reflect his heart to the world around us and we do this through the way we honour and love God, and others.
We believe God loves us, has created everyone with a purpose and the need to do life with others. We hope our church can be a place where people know God's love, find genuine relationships & are inspired to find strength and courage through life's challenges, discovering a full and meaningful life.
MEET THE PASTORS
Ryan & Jess joined Freedom Church Hereford in 2014 and went on to plant another Freedom Church location in Cheltenham in 2017. After spending some time in Bristol in December 2022, God birthed a call within their hearts to plant a church in this city. They relocated there, along with their son, in 2025 with a desire to fulfil the call to see the Kingdom of God continue to rise in this city.
Ryan is originally from Newcastle - a Geordie chef with a music producer background. Jess is originally from Herefordshire, loves a spreadsheet or getting out in nature on a good hill walk with the dog. As a family, they love being active, getting outdoors and laughing lots!
They are passionate about the church and guiding people towards finding their salvation and purpose in Jesus. They want to see people encouraged and inspired in their faith, particularly to stand strong amid the storms we all face from time to time in this life.
