ABOUT THE CENTER
An online community center for life.
We teach people to live from the sufficiency and logic of the Spirit of Christ within them.
THE EMANCIPATION CENTER
Why Emancipation?
An enslaved mindset allows external priorities, circumstances, expectations, and conditions to govern how we think, reason, and live. An emancipated mindset functions from within, through the sufficiency and logic of the Spirit of Christ. Emancipation is a change in what governs our lives.
THE EMANCIPATION CENTER
Our Foundation
Our Foundation
We recognize God as self-existent and the source of eternal life. We believe that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believers are established as a new creation, empowered by grace and called to live as a royal priesthood. At the heart of our teaching is learning to live from the sufficiency and logic of the Spirit of Christ within us.
Marriage & Relationship Education
Our relationship education follows a biblical framework defining marriage as the union of one man born male and one woman born female. Our materials teach from this understanding while welcoming respectful engagement with our educational community.
