Where we’ve come from

Barbarians? It’s not a fight club though we’ve been known for scrapping. It’s not a rave but it gets pretty loud. It’s not a lads club but it’s strictly men only…

It’s a fusion of a ex-criminals, fathers, sons, fighters, thinkers, poets and dreamers all changed by God in miraculous ways – a cocktail which you can’t really understand until you try it. It’s defined by not compromising, dangerous honesty, integrity, laughter and brotherhood. You’ll either be blown away and be left wanting more or you might not be able to hack it. It’s the men’s work of Freedom Church. We meet twice a month; once with our public meeting XXX and once for the committed CORE group. We’re a group of extra-ordinary ordinary blokes, determined to lives worthy of our God and what he’s done for us.

There should be a video here, but you’ll need Flash to watch it. Alternatively, you could watch this version which has been created for mobile devices.

Where we’re going

Several years ago it was clear that the young men of the church were struggling with the challenges most young men face but that church had become irrelevant and inaccessible for them. The leadership knew something had to be done so Barbarians began. At first just a small group in someone’s front room it began to bring identity, purpose and opportunity to these young men. It was a laugh, different and accessible but more than anything it unlocked a brash, untamed passion for God.

The group grew; evolving and influencing as it did, soon clear that it was not something just for the younger generation. It was opened up to the older guys at church and the culture soon spread. Barbarians started to shape peoples vision for their lives, corporate worship, prayer, marriage and relationships, parenting and so much more. It has become a group of dangerously honest men who strive to rediscover who they are truly meant to be. Meeting at least twice a month Barbarians has become a rock for support, challenge and inspiration.

How you can get involved

As barbarians continues to grow it’s unique strength becomes more and more noticeable. We believe that it is not something to keep locked up and to ourselves. The Barbarian Project has been created to export the idea and culture behind something which has changed our lives. Through this website and the resources we are creating we aim to equip, challenge and inspire men to rise up in their lives, community and especially their churches. We believe that this infectious idea will transform your walk with God, those around you and even shape your future. This website has been created to give a flavor of what Barbarians is all about and give you some simple everyday ideas of how you can step up!
