Welcome to the FREE2BE page

A world-renowned DJ, a street dancer and a graffiti artist are just some of the headline acts featuring in a Creative Arts workshop, on tour around England this summer to inspire young people in contemporary Christian worship.

The ‘FREE2BE' tour created and organised by ALOVE UK, offers a day-long interactive programme of contemporary arts, prayer and Bible teaching based on the book of Daniel and delivered by a team of youth workers and performance artists.

We hope that through journeying with FREE2BE you will feel encouraged and challenged to feel free to worship and live authentic lives in the places, cultures and contexts you're in. To live out worship lifestyles that are as real on Monday as they are on Sunday. That show out as evidently at school, college or work as they do at church.

On this page you can journey with ALOVE during the FREE2BE season in a whole bunch of ways. Don't forget to visit ALOVE on Facebook and tell us about your FREE2BE experiences. Just search for 'ALOVE UK' under Groups!
