The latest stories and updates in the Be Free initiative
September 2026 | Developing to Deploy
A building can create space. A program can create opportunity. But ultimately, people carry the mission forward.
That conviction is at the heart of Develop to Deploy, one of the three major priorities of the Be Free initiative. If we want to bring the freedom of Jesus to more people, places, and communities, we need people who are deeply rooted in Scripture, formed to look more like Jesus, and equipped to lead wherever God sends them.
This month, one of the biggest pieces of that vision became a reality.
The first-ever cohort of the Flatirons Leadership Institute has officially launched with more than 190 adult learners.
Four Nights This Fall: WAYS TO PARTNER WITH WHAT GOD IS DOING
Most people think changing the world is for someone else.
The missionary. The nonprofit leader. The person with more time, more money, or more experience.
But throughout Scripture, God uses ordinary people who simply say yes.
This fall, you have four opportunities to see that firsthand. Meet the people on the ground. Hear the stories. See how your generosity is already fueling God’s work—and discover how you can get even more involved.
June 2026 | An Update from Belize
Through Be Free, Flatirons has committed to helping bring freedom to people who are trapped, vulnerable, exploited, and in need of restoration. One of the clearest ways that vision is becoming real is through our Rescue to Restore work with partners on the ground who are fighting human trafficking and helping survivors heal.

April 2026 | Introducing: The Freedom Book
What if the life Jesus promised wasn’t just something you believed in—but something you actually experienced? That question sits at the center of the newly released Freedom Book, part of the Be Free initiative. It’s more than a devotional or a short-term study. It’s an invitation into a different way of living—one where freedom in Christ moves from theory into reality…
March 2026 | Denver Metro Project partnership
As we’ve stepped into Be Free, one reality has become impossible to ignore. We could plant campuses for years and still not keep up with the need. In Denver alone, four to five churches close their doors every year, and that number continues to rise. Entire neighborhoods are left without a strong, local church presence. Some areas are quickly becoming what could be described as “church deserts”—places where people have little to no access to the hope of Jesus…
February 2026 | Introducing the Flatirons Leadership Institute
At Flatirons Church, we believe that leadership isn’t accidental, it’s developed. For years, we’ve invested in growing leaders who are biblically grounded, emotionally healthy, and mission-driven. Now, we’re excited to take that commitment even further with the launch of the Flatirons Leadership Institute this fall.
January 2026 | Rescue to Restore Update
We’re taking real, tangible next steps—moving from a commitment to rescue and restore survivors of human trafficking into a lifestyle that supports freedom every day. As this work continues, there will be ongoing opportunities for you to engage in education and prevention, support rescue efforts, use your voting power to advocate for change across our state and nation, and come alongside the critical work of survivor restoration…
