Jesus Already Did the Work.
Every message leads back to the finished work of Jesus. We're learning together to live in the freedom He gave us.
Our Mission
When Jesus said "It is finished," He meant it.
The Cross worked! You are fully forgiven. We exist to help people discover the finished work of Christ and live in the freedom and fullness He purchased for us.
Life Without Limits
Not a slogan. A description of what Jesus gave you.
Core Values
What Drives Us
It is Finished. We Start There.
The GOSPEL is not advice to follow. It's a finished work to rest in.
We are a Hospital. Not a Courthouse.
Everyone who walks through our doors is met with COMPASSION, not a checklist.
We Build People, Not Programs.
Everything we do exists to invest in your GROWTH as a person, not to run a program.
God is ONLY Good!
Even in difficulties, we TRUST in the finished work of the cross.
We Run Like It Matters.
We operate with URGENCY because what we carry is too important to sit on.
We Start with Who You Are.
Your IDENTITY was settled at the cross before your behavior ever entered the conversation.
We Choose Relationship Over Results.
Real growth happens when people are known, not managed. That's COMMUNITY.
Noise Confuses. Music Inspires.
A team that moves in UNITY sounds like music. A team that doesn't is just noise.
We See Everybody as Somebody.
We VALUE every person because Jesus died for every person.
Lead Pastors
Pastor Brandon & Abbe Ball
Brandon and Abbe Ball lead Church Unlimited with one conviction: the gospel is a finished work to rest in. Brandon earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from Tennessee Tech and worked in sales engineering before entering ministry. He met Abbe at Bible school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They moved to Birmingham, where Brandon served three years as Executive Pastor before becoming Lead Pastor. Brandon is the author of five books, including the What Was Lost trilogy, and the founder of Grace Answers, the church's online teaching ministry. Their twins, Camden and Kensington, attend Auburn University.
Pastor Adam Newell serves alongside them as Associate Pastor and teaches on Sundays throughout the year.
Our Story
Why We Teach the Way We Do
For most of his Christian life, Brandon heard the same message: try harder, do more, be better. He believed God loved him, but it always came with fine print. In 2016 that way of living gave out completely, and in the wreckage he finally saw what he had read a hundred times: the New Covenant. Jesus didn't come so we could try harder. He came so we could rest in what He already finished.
Church Unlimited launched in December 2014, and two years later that discovery changed everything we preach. We're not a church that found a better system. We're a community that discovered the system was never the point. The cross was. Every message and every ministry here flows from one conviction: Jesus already did the work. We're learning to live like we believe it.
"We don't preach a gospel that tells you to try harder. We preach a gospel that tells you it's already done."
