Our Story
About New Freedom
One in heart and mind, walking out the Gospel of Jesus Christ with proof.
Our Mission
New Freedom Outreach Center is a “faith believing” outreach church in Berthoud, Colorado with a heart for community and outreach. We walk outside the four walls with His gospel and love.
Our mission is to be “One in heart and mind walking out the Gospel of Jesus Christ with proof,” and our vision is Healing — Restoration — Training — Equipping — Sending — In the Truth, the Way, and the Life.
We embrace everyone — regardless of background, style, or life circumstance — in a welcoming, casual environment where people encounter God, find healing and restoration, and are equipped and sent out to make a difference in their community and beyond.
What We Believe
The Bible is the inspired and empowered word of God in its entirety.
The Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus is the begotten Son of God — born of a virgin, living a sinless life, crucified for our redemption, resurrected, and ascended.
Because of His blood shed for us, we can have a personal relationship with Him.
Baptism with water and baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The resurrection of the dead and the great commission to take the Good News everywhere we are called.
Our Partners
New Freedom partners with many ministries within our community, nationally, and around the world — including ARC (Association for the Recovery of Children), Colorado Prays, Freedom and Joy Christian Center, Habitat for Humanity Loveland, Grace and Mercy Assembly, and Life Choices.

Additional Venue
Johnson's Corner Chapel
New Freedom Outreach Center is connected to Johnson's Corner Chapel — a historic chapel along the I-25 corridor that serves as a second ministry location for special events, weddings, memorial services, and faith-in-action service projects.
The NFOC family regularly volunteers at the chapel for upkeep, beautification, and outreach. It's a quiet, beautiful space that has hosted everything from intimate gatherings to whole-church service days.
