Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Church of Freeport?
The Church of Freeport is a monotheistic spiritual tradition that embraces both scientific understanding and divine wisdom. We believe in one Creator who established the universe with perfect design and purpose, entrusting humanity with conscious stewardship of creation. Our faith integrates rational inquiry with spiritual insight, seeing them as complementary paths to truth.
How is the Church of Freeport different from other religions?
We distinguish ourselves through our full embrace of scientific knowledge as a form of divine revelation. Rather than seeing science and faith as contradictory, we view them as two methods of understanding the same cosmic reality. Our approach honors both empirical discovery and spiritual insight, creating a comprehensive framework for understanding existence and our purpose within it.
What are the Church’s teachings on family and marriage?
We uphold the sacred institution of marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman, reflecting divine complementarity. While the ideal is monogamous marriage, we recognize that divine wisdom permits polygyny under specific conditions requiring justice, equality, and spiritual maturity. Our family structure honors the complementary roles of fathers as providers and protectors, and mothers as nurturers and homemakers, while allowing flexibility based on individual circumstances.
What is the role of women in the Church?
Women hold a position of profound dignity and respect in our community. We recognize the essential feminine qualities of nurturing, wisdom, and emotional depth as divine gifts that complement masculine attributes. Women maintain full rights to property, education, and personal development while being honored for their primary roles as wives and mothers—the foundations of family and society.
What does membership involve?
Membership involves embracing the Freeport Bible as your spiritual guide, participating in regular spiritual practices, accepting our teachings on family and marriage, and contributing to our community through tithes and service.

What is the Freeport Bible?

How does the Church of Freeport view science?
We see science as one of the highest forms of human endeavor—a sacred method for uncovering divine wisdom embedded in creation. Scientific discoveries don’t challenge our faith; they deepen it.
