Jesus doesn’t identify you according to your behaviours or behaviours committed against you;
neither will we.
We will be starting September 22nd, running through to mid-March, every Monday from 6:30pm-9pm (minus holidays and Christmas break). We would love to see everyone go through FS, however there are some instances where it may not be the right season, the right time, or even the right program (at this time we are only accepting applications of individuals 18+ that call The Bridge their home church); for this reason we prayerfully consider every application we receive, to help you navigate what the next best step is in your healing journey. There is a one time $75 course fee, once accepted for this year's cohort, that covers course material and refreshments. However, we do not want finances to be an obstacle for anyone, so if you have concerns about the cost, please email us to discuss what options we have to help.

Practical Faqs
Who is Freedom Session for?
Freedom session is for people 18+ who call the Bridge church their home. Although we would love for everyone to experience the healing journey FS has to offer, there are times that it may not be the right fit (ie english is not your first language, or you have cognitive inabilities etc). We use discretion and discernment in prayerfully considering each applicant so we are directing them to the appropriate means of healing.
How do I apply?
Is there a course fee?
There is a one time $75 course fee to cover course materials and refreshments. However, we do not want finances to be an obstacle for anyone, so if you have concerns about the cost, please email us to discuss what options we have to help.
How long and often will it run?
Starting September 22nd, we meet every Monday night from 6:30pm-9pm (we start the video at 6:30pm promptly). We will take a break over Christmas as well as on Holiday Mondays, and run into Mid-March.
Will there be childcare available?
No. Due to the intensity and importance of this course, we want our participants to be fully engaged and focused during each session, not worrying about their kids or being distracted.
English is my second language. Can I do the course too?
Although FS is offered in both English and Spanish, our session will be in English only. We have found that the pace of the sessions make it difficult for individuals who are not proficient in speaking English.
If your first language is Spanish, but you are proficient in conversational English, we can offer materials in Spanish as long as you are able to translate to english for your group discussions.
Unfortunately, at this time, the videos are not offered in other languages or with subtitles.

Is dinner provided?
We will have light refreshments available. Please eat dinner before coming, or bring it with you.
Can I do this on my own at home?
Although the material is created in a way that you can do it on your own, when you start with a group it is best completed with the group with full commitment. Attendance is recorded, homework is expected to be completed, and there is high accountability within your triad. There is grace for sickness or family emergencies, but we ask that for your sake and for your group's sake, let your yes be yes.
Can I attend online?
We prefer that you are in person, especially for your small group discussions and socials, however we can accommodate a hybrid model where you watch the video on your own and jump online for the group discussion. This is only optional if you are away on vacation or sick. There may be other extenuating circumstances, please let us know if this is something you might need.
Is it recorded?
No. Freedom Session International provides all the pre-recorded material (available for participants to rewatch, not watch ahead), and we do not record any of our group discussions for confidentiality purposes.
Are the groups mixed company?
Each session we watch the video together as one group (male and female), but then for small group discussion each group is separated by biological gender. If you do not identify with your biological gender, this does require a higher touch conversation so please contact us at freedom@bridgenorthvan.ca.
